I am a wife and mother living in a one-career household. I have begun making decisions to take control of our financial future (including taking on small jobs that fit into my life and using the $ earned to pay off bills). One of the things that is keeping me focused and motivated is posting my progress on this blog and sharing what I am learning along the way.

$300 payment...Attacking The LAST CREDIT CARD!!!
I paid $300 to the last of the credit cards this family will ever see!! I've got a ways to go, but I can SEE the finish line.
A year ago my family's life was very different. Fundamentally we were the same, but when bills are on your mind, and looking at the numbers makes a person queasy, life is definitely different for the spirit.
Today, I feel anxious in a good way when I sit down to look at the numbers. I am anxious about finishing up paying off debts. I am anxoius about getting aggressive in paying off our house. I am itching to get started on college funds for our kids. It's all POSITIVE excitement and anxiety.
What a difference a year of focused, conscious planning makes.
