Scared Spitless...
Yep, I'm scared spitless. In praying for a miracle of a lifetime (new theme for this quarter at church) we seem to have gotten an answer. A guy Dave works with sent him home with a book. And yep, it appears that we may have found our miracle of a lifetime......and I'm scared to death but excited.
We're gonna do the Dave Ramsey "Total Money Makeover"..... and since it's out there now, I'm bound and pledged. Anyone else doing this?
Not gonna be easy but I'll take hard, I'm used to hard, but man the rewards would be so sweet. The Lord has actually put us in the best position to accomplish this...hello, live in an RV, travel around, and frankly I'm sick of eating out so yeah, I'm thinking we're gonna do this thing.
It's fascinating and scary. No gimmicks, no quick tricks, no cost. We are going to eliminate our debt the hard way: buckling down, go on a tight budget, throwing money at our bills in an ogranized and ordered fashion (smallest to largest) with the snowball method. Then we're going to pay off our vehicles and start double paying our mortgage. While doing the last part, we'll be investing for retirement (with the money that would be going to debt but there will be no debt).
Long winded but that is our basic plan. I'm going to be very honest about our progress on here, if only to keep myself motivated and honest. So yes, we'll be posting updates as they happen!

That sounds interesting. I've never heard of it. What does it entail? You gonna give updates?
