We are de-stuffing with a purpose.
Four weeks ago Dan and I started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace courses. Check him out here.
I don't mean to be sentimental, but it will change your life.
Seriously.
His tag line is "If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else!".
Meaning, we are changing the way we let out money run our lives. We're paying cash for everything possible and saying goodbye forever to credit cards. And debt! The debt will take us a while, but soon, we will be able to say, "We are debt free!".
His advice is sound financial advice. He teaches you to "live like no one else". Which isn't a bad thing. It's being smart, being frugal and as I'm discovering, it's exactly what our church leaders have been counseling us to do.
We're also going to be saving money like crazy. So that we will "live like no one else".
Meaning, we will once and for all stop being slaves to our debt.
We've completed out first Baby Step. Our emergency fund is safely in the bank. Dave calls it "Murphy Repellent".
Now we're on to Baby Step 2. We're dumping our debt, which means Dan is going to be picking up some extra work, I've trimmed our budget to the bare ultimate minimums, and we're getting rid of stuff.
So, need some furniture??? I'll be posting some pictures soon. But, we have a bunch of very nice furniture just collecting dust in storage. It's all being sold. Here's a list of what we've got that needs to go...
Read leather couch set
Gray/blue Couch
Brown plush furniture throws for sofa and love seat
Black coffee table cube
Dinning room set with six upholstered chairs
Small entertainment center
White fridge
Ladies golf clubs
Acoustic and electric guitar and amp
Large area rug
Small dining room set with drop table and seating for four
Leather office chair
Various sports memorabilia
Pictures and descriptions coming really soon...
Wish us luck!!
