The personal finance person in me says that you need to figure out what the interest on not paying down that $200 is, and add that to the cost of the class ;)

Smithee:
The personal finance and self-responsibility advocate in me says you should have waited until your finances were better positioned. The self-improvement advocate in my applauds loudly! Way to go!

The best way to address fears and weakness, I believe, is to dive right in. I use to be scared of snakes so I bought a Burmese python. My writing is weak and a source of embarrassment for me so I started blogging. Most of us are in denial regarding our finances, only by getting engaged in building your lifetime wealth can you grow your money and as a person.

The world would be a better place if more people would take on their fears like you have, you are an inspiration. Good luck in level 2.

Congrats! That certainly does take a lot of nerve.

One thing I've always admired about improv actors, is there ability to find the humor in the most serious, difficult and humiliating parts of their lives. I think learning how to do that, is definitely worth $8 an hour.
