[Broken Arrow]

Well, there's a reason why I deliberately separate my real life identity and my online identity... even if the subject matter crosses over.

Oh, and boy do I know the feeling of being the Bad Guy. I still am to many in real life.

I do agree that there should be a recreation sort of budget; one for rewarding yourselves for staying on track on the debt diet. Otherwise, the resentment and the eventual backlash will be much greater. It doesn't have to be a very big concession or anything. Just a small one that everyone will hopefully be happy with until you are in a better financial position.
