Total Money Makover

As I mentioned before on Facebook we are doing the Total Money Makeover. I am now a Dave Ramsey fan and am reading the book. We really focused last year and paid off all of our debt in August 2011 (before listening to Dave). We are now completely debt free except for our home and we are now working on paying our home off early while building savings and retirement. For those looking to make their money work better for them, READ HIS BOOK! I am even happy to loan it to you if you want (I have it on Kindle and a hard copy).

He is on Talk Radio each night from about 7pm-10pm (105.7fm or 570am) and I love his view on money. It will change your life. It's not rocket science, but he does make it very plain and simple. He calls it as he sees it and will put you in your place when needs be. :)

We didn't have any consumer debt, but were able to pay off both of our cars and a student loan. It feels amazing and a huge weight has been lifted! What I love about his book is that it doesn't matter how much money you make, you can always make a way to be come debt free and live financially/payment free! I am looking forward to the day when we no longer have to make a mortgage payment. WOOHOO!

 I hope we can turn as many people as possible on to his plan so they can experience the same joy we have by relieving yourself of the weight of ANY debt. It's amazing and totally worth it. We hope everyone will join us in living a payment free life. :)

This year so far...

It's been a great year so far! We are so blessed.

I continue to work and go to school full-time and Rodd is also working really hard. I am looking at some options for working part-time so I can finish my degree sooner. Again, we are so blessed and have been surprised at the number of options available. We have a lot of decisions to make.

His birthday was on Tuesday, right in the middle of my finals week. My birthday is also in the middle of finals for the fall semester. What's up with that? I had finals on both of our birthdays this year. Since he would be heading out soon to work for a while we did a Birthday Week Marathon and did all kinds of fun stuff all week: movies, dinners, nickel arcade, gifts, games at home, etc. It was quite the weekend and so much fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY! :)

I think that Facebook has kind of replaced my blogging as I feel I have already posted most of this stuff there... but I still  need to do better.
