An honest look at family finances
12 May
One thing in my life I would like to change is my weight. I would like to lose 10 pounds, 20 would be awesome. It’s really hard. I’ve been frustrated with this 10 pounds for at least 6 months now. I have to admit I’m not working very hard at it. I make great plans, but at the first sign of ice cream I decide I will start tomorrow. I also know that there are not any magic “get skinny quick” schemes out there. Only hard work and less food will get rid of these extra pounds. It’s a simple math equation. I need to burn more calories than I eat. So if I want to lose weight I have to either to work out, or eat less. I’ll be stuck with these pounds until I feel like doing one, or both, of those things.
It’s amazing to me how easily I can change the above paragraph to describe getting out of debt.
One thing in my life I would like to change is my debt. I would like to pay off my cars, the house would be awesome. It’s really hard. I’ve been frustrated with this debt for at least 4 years now. I have to admit I’m not working very hard at it. I make great plans, but at the first sign of a sale I decide I will start tomorrow. I also know that there are not any magic “get rich quick” schemes out there. Only a higher income and less spending will get rid of these extra debts. It’s a simple math equation. I need to earn more money than I spend. So if I want to reduce my debt I have to either make more, or spend less. I’ll be stuck with these debts until I feel like doing one, or both, of those things.
Weird huh?

I’ve made the big switch from Blogger over to Wordpress. This was done totally by Jonathan at Master Your Card. He did more than just help me… he did all the work for me. I owe him so big. So if you are loving the new site then please visit his site or even sign up for his RSS feed. It’s always worth the read.
I have lots of looking around to do and changes to make to the site, so please bear with me while I get adjusted.
