Dancinmama!

[Deleted]

I don't know if you remember this or not but...when I first joined the Money Boards on MSN one of my first conversations was with you. The thread was about how much money we needed or something like that and I said I wanted enough to have a nice home, travel some, save some and take a cruise. You responded very encouragingly.

Well, 5 years later I am there. I have almost tripled my salary since then, I've taken a cruise (not the Mediterranean one yet though) and have retirement savings and investments well under way.

I just wanted to say thanks. That would have been the first time I had put my financial goals out there and you were supportive.

Try the Private message. Some people just have certain threads bookmarked and don't notice new ones

laterbloomer: I am so excited for you. Nothing happens overnight. I'm sure tripling your salary helped a lot, but keeping your eye on "the goal" is important too.

I think encouragement is key. I know that it has been for us. Not all ideas are going to work for everyone, but any idea might work for someone.

Just think of where you'll be in another 5 years!!



And BTW, thanks for taking the time to post. It is really nice to know that some small thing you said or did ended up helping someone.

I remember one time I was going to quit the MSN boards after being flamed for being my non-conformist self (go figure). Dancin and the WIR crew and the old WSH crew convinced me to stay- that's been a couple years ago. I am so glad I did.

Dancinmama is a huge encouragement to everyone and the leader of the Grocery Challenge these days. What would we all do without her? Karma for her! (I don't know what you get with all this karma but I hope it's a retirement/vacation/cruise/check for a lot of money!

Me too, Miss Hot Tamale. ;D

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm sure the GC would manage just fine without me. It is the "community" that makes it what it is.

So that others get the joke. A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of having freesalsa to my home for a visit. Last year, DH was asking about her and referred to her as 'Hot Tamale' instead of freesalsa, so now I fondly call her Miss Hot Tamale instead of freesalsa.

Yes, I am.

And here I thought that I was getting karma because maybe I had said something profound on YM.

See, you never know who's actually reading what you post! Glad I picked the right person, remembered your cute avatar. Yes, we're P&M buds... ;D

I am a dancinmama fan, too.

Dancin, you are so much fun!
Thanks for being there for us.

I enjoy many of daninmama's post too even though I am a "flaming" Liberal and proud of it.

That's okay joss. My sister and her DH are flaming liberals and we are the best of friends.

Awe, that's nice of you to say.

It goes both ways. I get a lot of encouragement myself from people on these boards.
