This is a must read

I ran across an article on Conservative Oasis’ blog titled “Top Stories of 2008“. I love the humorous overview of the year.

I Like This Game

This week marked my first direct deposit into my savings account. Between that disbursement and depositing some of my Christmas money, I am now only $307 from my emergency fund goal!

Change in Lifestyle

While at home over the Thanksgiving break I started reading my dad’s copy of Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. I couldn’t put down the book, and thought it was insightful and funny. As a result of reading that book, I’ve started the Total Money Makeover. Dave (we’re on a first name basis) outlines a [...]

Here are some specifics: Something functional in my house that I’m thankful for is:My dishwasher. Seriously. And having [...]
