Saving My Pennies

First off I just want to say we SOLD our house.  This is a great burden gone.  I am so happy to no longer have to worry about the pool especially since it is getting real HOT in AZ and that is when pools like to turn green.  I no longer have to worry it is done!

Second we have been doing Dave Ramsey and really pushing to get the school loans paid off.  We are so excited to be 100% debt free.  With this being said we are not spending money on anything that we don't need.  Like Dave says "If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else."  That is our goal so a cruise or trip to Disneyland is out of the question for a time.  But I have created a plan I am saving all my pennies and dimes and quarters in a jar so that we can go on a small trip in the future.  It may take awhile but it will be fun to anticipate.  Thank goodness John and I have a business trip to go on in a month.  We will be taking Brigham and during our free time we will be going to the Denver Aquarium, it looks amazing and even has live mermaids, well girls who swim under water in mermaid outfits, it looks pretty cool.

I love making small sacrifices today so that I can live well tomorrow, I am super excited to be debt free.

  3. Great news on the house! We save our change and roll it and have like $500 under our bed. It's pretty fun to see it add up.
