I have been almost anal about putting money into savings since my bk last August. When I was married I was such a fool with money, no wonder I had to file upon my divorce! I literally had to learn how to manage finances when I split with my ex. It was a drastic lifestyle change for me. Now I look back at the person I was 5 years ago and am shocked that was even me. Sometimes I feel like such a scrooge, because I honestly feel a sense of accomplishment when I go through my savings statement and see how much it has grown. But learning to manage money has been a hard lesson learned!!

Ironically enough, soon after my BK I actually got a job at a BANK working in the credit card dept! Don't ask me how I managed that one. Since getting my job I am even MORE aware and on my guard when it comes to credit cards. I talk to too many people in debt up to their eyeballs to want to ever be in their same position again.
