Financial Freedom

PrairieMom wrote: We are 6 classes into our 13 weeks, and we finished our first month living on a budget, and guess what?!?!?! I am HAPPY!!! I LOVE Dave Ramsey. I'm on a real emotional roller coaster with that guy.
Even after my small panic attack and vent about our medical bills all our scrimping and saving payed off, and we paid all our bills, and didn't have to use any of our emergency fund! that is HUGE since I thought I was going to have to drain the whole thing. We are actually going to have a little extra to save.

the best part is that this month we budgeted extra $ for the kids to get easter outfits and I get some new undergarments, plus I get to easter bunny shop, so life doesn't seem so dismal right now. I think the thought of shopping after an entire month of depriving my self is what really has me excited right now.

I am going to live like no one else so later I can LIVE like no one else!!!!

PrairieMom replied:
this class was offered through a church, maybe there is one in your area that has it too? i guess there are 12 different classes going on in our city right now, and our city isn't that big.
