We went through Dave Ramsey's:: Financial Peace University when I was about 8 months pregnant with Zane so in April/May 2010.
We took the class at a local church near our house and when we started the class we got the
along with all the classes and a lifetime membership,
so if we ever wanted to take the classes again all we have to do is find a class somewhere
and we can sign up and go for free.
We were on track for quite awhile with this plan
and then we get hit with all these huge hospital bills and we totally lost track.
I can't tell you why exactly but I really think it was seeing all those huge numbers we were going to have to payoff.
I think we both just felt really discouraged!
And we've been off track ever since then, but we just decided to get back on it again.
We sat down together and figured out our budget and how much money is going to go to each
medical bill, credit card bill, student loan payment, + our mortgage.
We are excited to be back on track
and get our finances back in order because we are going to try to put our house on the market in the next couple months.
We need to get into a bigger house for our growing family...
Two bedrooms is just not big enough for us anymore.
So that means trying to pay off bills so we can start saving for a down payment.
So wish us luck on staying on track this time + getting ourselves out of debt and into financial freedom!
