Even though our main goal is to become debt-free and improve our financial situation, there is another goal that is almost as important. That goal is to provide our son with what he needs to be successful with managing his finances as an adult. We do not want our son to follow in [...] ... (more)

Lately, my husband and I have been having some pretty interesting conversations about homes and about the size of them. We both agree that the bigger home you have - the more likely you are to fill it with “stuff.” As we’ve come to realize, “stuff” isn’t all that important to us. [...] ... (more)

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had promised our son that we would go see Wall-E when it came out in the theater. On Saturday, he was so excited he was almost bouncing off of the walls. We were a little concerned about the possibility of the show selling out because [...] ... (more)

I spent some time yesterday catching up on my blog reading. I was pretty far behind. I follow over 120 blogs so I had some reading to do! Here are some articles that caught my eye to share with all of you. Kevin is now mortgage free. Congrats! Ms Broke argues that keeping [...] ... (more)

Those who are close to me sometimes tease me because I have a thing for mail. After the mailman goes by I’m usually the first one out there to see what he brought. You can imagine the mailman jokes I get Mr. Mailman didn’t disappoint me today. I finally received the [...] ... (more)

Because things are tight financially right now, we are on a spending freeze. We are only spending money on necessities. We put this to the test last weekend when we returned something to Walmart. Even though we walked through the store, we walked out without buying a single thing. It felt so weird [...] ... (more)

There is a great bonus at ING Direct where you can earn $25 for opening up a new ING Orange Savings account with at least $250. To get that bonus, you need to use someone’s referring link. I have been out of my links for a while, so I host ING Orange Savings referral links [...] ... (more)

For quite a while now, we have been doing great with reducing our debt. There would be times where I’d look at our finances and see how much we can squeeze out to put towards our debt (or savings). Usually, there was some breathing room. That’s not the case right now. I feel [...] ... (more)

I noticed online today that my health insurance provider received the manual check that I wrote to them. I sent it Wednesday - they cashed it Friday. Whew. We are now officially covered and I can begin the claims process to get paid for things we paid out-of-pocket. I’m not looking [...] ... (more)

After everything that has been going on with our health insurance lately, guess what I got in the mail today? It was my next health insurance bill. That’s not very unusual for this time of the month. The $1,200 showing as due by the first of July was the unusual part. [...] ... (more)

April and May were awesome months. June…not so awesome. A series of events has left me very grateful for our emergency fund. I’m not happy to have to pull from it, but it has to be done. First of all, our health insurance company didn’t receive our bill payment from our bank. [...] ... (more)

On my post about the slicer/dicer yesterday, MeganM left a comment: I think 99% of gadget-type purchases can be eliminated. No one needs a slicer when a plain old knife will do just fine for sandwich meat. I think MeganM is absolutely right. I’m mentally going through my kitchen right now and we have a cute [...] ...

There is one area of my spending that I need to keep an eye on - impulse buying. For the most part, I’ve done well with keeping it bay. However, here are certain instances where money doesn’t matter. I had such an episode last weekend. With my husband going to the doctors and [...] ... (more)

I haven’t been around here much this week. We have been working so hard on our new business to get it ready for launch by the end of this month. It’s been tough. We’ve hit some roadblocks along the way but we managed to get by them. It did set us back time-wise [...] ... (more)

Without further ado, here’s how things panned out for May (please see this post for a FAQ). Income for May was awesome. Our economic stimulus payment is in there and it gave us a welcome boost in income. Unfortunately, we didn’t use it like the government wanted us to use it. It went [...] ... (more)

I haven’t felt much like blogging the last few days. A series of events left me a bit bummed and with some extra work on my hands. First up, my husband is sick again. He called me from the doctors office, “They are saying our insurance is cancelled so I had to [...] ... (more)

There are a few contests going on that I thought I would let everyone know about. Matt at One Million and Beyond is having some troubles sticking to his budget. To help motivate himself to meet his goals, he is putting his money where his mouth is. If he doesn’t meet his weekly budget, [...] ... (more)

May ended up being a great month for our net worth. We had some help, though, with our economic stimulus payment. All of that ($1,500) went straight towards our debt I’ll probably be posting our May spending this weekend and we’ll review more things that enabled us to increase our net worth [...] ... (more)

The Money Blog Network has an interesting writing project going on right now. They want to know what your finances were like 10 years ago. Ten years places us in 1998. Uh, oh. I remember what happened that year. Although I don’t have the records to back this up, I’m pretty [...] ... (more)

After an absence, I have decided to bring back our monthly spending reports. I am still trying to find our January - March receipts so I can post those reports. I’ve checked every known “receipt stash” in our house and they are no where to be found. I probably put them somewhere [...] ... (more)

As our debt has been shrinking, my husband and I have been discussing what we hope to have in our future home. One thing for sure - we would like to be more self-sufficient and have land to have a decent-sized garden and a small orchard. I think to my childhood for inspiration [...] ... (more)

I wasn’t planning on paying more towards our debt this month. I was going to beef up our savings. Thank goodness I reviewed everything online or I might have missed a minimum payment due! All of our credit card debt is at 0% right now, and one missed payment would have been a [...] ... (more)
