How can I have finacial peace?

A new adventure(?) awaits me. I'm starting the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace class at University Christian Church in FW. (Shameless promo I know.) Here's a few things I'm scared of...(insert Liz Lemmon exclamatory here.)
The cost effectiveness of paying for the only car I've ever bought with my own money.Yes, I love my brand new Honda Fit, but do I hate debt more?????
Again, do I love netflix, cable, internet more than I hate debt?
Can we as a couple hate debt as much as we should?
Communication skills that I have or don't have.
Starting a new small group.
Blerg. It makes me tired just thinking about it. This should be an interesting 13 weeks... Why 13, that's not a good sign of things to come.

Is she in denial?

The answer is yes. In denial that I do have a job, a hard one at that, and I do have to go back to work on Monday. In denial that at some point it is not socially acceptable to keep up Christmas decorations. In denial that I can't pack up and leave. In denial that I've had certain "Tabs" on my computer for much longer than Firefox ever intended you to save "tabs". In denial that my BFF really does want to move way too far away. In denial I may not always have my way.

"So this is the new year.
And i don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back." -Death Cab for Cutie
