I have joined Financial Peace University at my new church. I have decided that my blog will be my accountability partner. If I want to purchase a non necessaty(spp?) I have to blog about it first. That will make me think about how badly I need it and how it will affect my savings. I am on baby step #1 $1000 savings in the bank. We have that, but some of that has been allotted for our family vacation that we have scheduled in July. I have not been on a vacation in about 14yrs and decided with the stimulus check that our family needed to head to the beach for some R&R together. Jarrett doesn't even know what the beach is. I have put a ticker on the side and what we don't spend at the beach I will add to this after we get back. I want to get to wear the gas prices won't hurt us like they are now. My husband and I work 30 minutes from our jobs and this is killing us right now. I now am more conscious of how much me and the kids drive around. Hopefully the gas prices will go down soon. I think I heard a few AMEN's in the crowd. I also have my little sisters wedding that 4 of us are in. I have to finish paying for alterations, buy Brooke a dress, rent Jarrett a tux, throw a shower, & purchase a wedding gift. My budget will be tight for a while. I have been following a budget for several years now just not as faithfully as I shoud have been. We will now. Thanks for helping me with this goal.
