The Propane Tank Was Filled & No One Panicked
February 9, 2018 by
Yesterday the propane tank was filled and no one panicked. We live in a rural area (not for much longer, but the big move is a whole different story). Our forced air furnace runs on propane and several times a year the tanks need to be filled. We have a big tank that feeds our […]
Budgeting Works – Why We Didn’t Mind Getting This $1200 Bill
July 27, 2017 by
Here I go again, taking a moment to tell you (again) that budgeting works. We just received our semi-annual bill for our auto insurance via email and the amount due isn’t small change. It is over $1200, which I am sure is similar to what many of you pay to insure your automobiles. Insurance is […]
Bank Day For New Monthly Budget – How We Do It
June 30, 2017 by
Today is bank day for new monthly budget for July. Since taking Financial Peace University over a year ago we have stuck with the monthly budgeting system Dave Ramsey teaches in the class.

March 24, 2017 by
Imagine two months free homeowners insurance. Let me explain….I’ve never been happy to get a bill in the mail (or in my email inbox), especially a bill that is over $1000. Until now.

July 26, 2016 by

Thanks for following along with us on our journey through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, FPU as it is commonly called. After 9 weeks of class, we have finished the program.

March 17, 2016 by
Our journey through FPU, Financial Peace University, is nearly over. This weekend we attend our last class, week 9. What an amazing, life changing journey this has been for the both of us.
