Finance


Sorry I haven't been posting!!! I do things everyday that would fit this blog and I never think to blog about them. I'm just a bad blogger, period. :(

Josh and I are seriously gung-ho about getting out of debt. Between his student loans and our car, that is a lot more debt than we'd like. So, we are embarking on our "get out of debt" adventure.

We looked at our budget and decided we could cut some costs here and there. We also decided on a sum of money that we could live off of for 2 weeks. I get that in cash and that cash covers our groceries for 2 weeks, gas for 2 weeks and any other misc. stuff that comes up. (ie. eating out, gifts, doctors appts...) Not to brag, but I'm really proud of this, we are living on $200 for 2 weeks and at the most 60$ of that is my gas. (Moby eats a lot!)

This is really a lifestyle change. A hard one. We've really been able to define "need" and "want". So there may not be a lot of new projects up...but I can still keep you semi-up to date on good deals or tips. Remember, I'm a bad blogger! If you have more questions about budgeting, I'd like to hear them!

Hey Emily, I have a friend from high school that has started a financial counseling blog. She's breaking into the business and gives lots of great tips and goals for financial planning. Here's the site if you want to check it out: http://financesbyrachel.blogspot.com/. We've started budgeting too, and I love how much control it gives us over our habits! So way to go and good luck!
