About Me

My husband and I will be married 13 years this year and we have four children, ages 7,6,4 and 1. I graduated in December 2009 with my degree in Personal Financial Planning from KSU and my husband and I have started our journey to become debt free and take control of our finances. I feel I need to accomplish this goal personally before I can successfully lead others in the same direction.

My husband is in the Navy which has afforded us the opportunity to live in many places across the U.S. We are currently Connecticut and are heading West in March.

I started this blog as another way to hold myself accountable for my financial actions.

Month 9

May 31st, 2010 at 07:52 pm

We ended May with our debt total just under $80,000. I start working again next week. It will just be for a few months but will hopefully help us put another dent in our student loans. I'll have to pay a sitter this summer to watch the kids but it will still be extra money. Our oldest daughter Taylor has her birthday party on Friday.

We'll see what the month of June brings!

Good luck with the work, I know that it leads to a challenge when you are expecting. My wife worked almost up to her due date, as well, but it helped keep our insurance and income level, so that was important. Enjoy summer as much as you can!
