    Well we play the old 'switcheroo' every month.  Borrow from savings, pay back savings, rinse and repeat.  I feel like I'm always saying "next month we will have extra" and then a car needs repaired, preschool bill comes, 4 birthdays in the same month.  

    I think the only difference is in college I used credit cards, a lot.  We rarely use them now and pay them off right away.  So I didn't "feel" in debt in college even though I was...now I'm not really in debt, but I always feel like I am.

    I am laughing right now because I did not realize there were so many others who live this way. I keep reminding myself it will not be this way forever!
