Women In Red Racers

Look what I found a story about you all from 2008. It's from Good Housekeeping:

Three Steps :

How did they do it? Their three-step method is remarkably simple:

1. Be honest when you tally up what you owe. Admit to every cent. "It's only when you get real with yourself that you realize you have to make a change," says Purvis.

2. Update the group regularly on your progress — or admit to backsliding. "It helps to have a place where you can talk frankly," says Sheppard. By posting your status, you'll get motivation when you need it and applause when you deserve it.

3. Don't give up — even if success seems far away. The Racers' experience suggests that perseverance is the key. On average, members have each paid off more than $3,800, and many have come up with more. Most important: The group is still going. With U.S. personal debt at an all-time high of almost $2.5 trillion (excluding mortgages), the Women in Red Racers offer hope to struggling families who feel as if they're facing a life sentence.

That brings back some memories, Sugi!  Thanks for posting.

Some of us started with the group when it first formed and are still at it.  Sometimes it's two steps forward, one step back.  Sometimes it's just a crushing amount of debt that needs to be paid off (especially for the Racers who've added mortgages to the race).  We each have our own battles and fight them differently.  What we have in common is that we are fighting the good fight.
