what it is the hubby and I are doing with regards to our finances.
we are on this plan called "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. You might recognize the name because he does have a radio show. Here's his website: www.daveramsey.com
It's worth reading and checking out! We bought the book (on sale at B & N) and read it in a week.
We have been on the same page for the first time in our entire marriage about finances. We do the budget together!! TOGETHER!!
So anyway we got to the point where we needed a solution due to us being stationed here in CA and still owning our house in IL...tenants being late and WHOLE lot of other stuff that we are trying to come back from.
We knew some people that did this program and we've heard the show on occasion...I did sign up for his newsletters and then one day a few weeks ago I got it. I read it and it hit home...I grabbed the hubby and said THIS is what we need to do. He said ok...As a family we went to B&N and got the book.
We have been working the program since. We've come up with what we are comfortable doing to reach the first 2 steps (garage sale selling furniture, kick knacks, insignificant items). We've done a budget for the next 4 months, of course it willbe adjusted since I am happy to announce THE HUBBY GOT A 2ND JOB!! WOOHOO! He had an interview today and he got it. So we are now looking at an additional income that will REALLY help with our plan.
I urge and encourage those who need it and WANT to change their ways to start with his book. It will open your eyes or if you believe your eyes are already open then it will motivate you most definitely!!
