We are currently on month 8 with our Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University plan and are proud to say we have knocked out 40% of our debt, not including the house! We should be debt free by this time next year! If you don't know who Dave is, visit his website.
We keep a posted chart on the refrigerator door that marks our progress and keeps us on track so our children know what the plan is. Throughout these months, the children have seen that even though we tightened our budget, we have what we need. They have their own envelopes and know how much money they can spend on clothes. They have their own chores and get a weekly allowance so they never ask us for money — they already have it!
I have also become a coupon clipping addict and love going to the store and paying 70%! I also visit the blogs of other coupon clippers and get a wealth of information from them. Check out Money Saving Mom, what a wonder woman she is!
Next month (September) we are hosting the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class at our church. It's a 13 week program and we could not be more excited! Peace is the key word ... I am so less stressed now that am on my way to being debt free and cannot wait to share this information on how others can achieve this goal, too.
Blessings,
Stacie
