weekend update…

Posted in finances, life at 9:51 am by bethfisher

So the weekend is going well thus far.  Yesterday was another slow day at the shop, which was fine.  The highlight of the day was going to lunch with my mom, grandmother and aunt.  The sleepover went really well and I even managed to get maybe 5 hours of sleep.  Not the most comfortable sleep.  And it was interrupted at one point around 3am by girls running and screaming down the hallway… but I wasn’t too surprised. 

So after reading some of the comments on my last post with the financial updates I realized I had one more update to give….

We have acheived the FIRST Baby Step of Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps.  We have $1,000 in an Emergency Fund ( And it’s in ING so it can grow through there!).  Next we’ll be looking at our Debt Snowball plan, starting out with some of our smaller debts and getting them payed off and working up to the larger ones (Jeep and house).

Ok those are my updates.  Still plugging away at work today.  We’ve already had two customers today…  oh and now the mailman!

    Yay Emergency Fund! Rock on!

    We’re actually doing a debt snowball, though we never officially labeled it as such. We’re knocking out my high-interest student loan, which also happens to be our smallest loan. We’re about half way through it.
