My first goal.... ATTAINED!

WOO HOO! I am so proud that my first goal was attained, the date of my last charge was 7/15... just as I promised myself. My next goal date is rapidly approaching, hubby gets paid tomorrow, and all of that check is going into the efund. I am thrilled at that thought. This whole process has me giddy and I sure hope that lasts quite sometime. Now I am off to remove my credit card #'s from online shopping sites so that I use my debit card instead!

Lady in Waiting

Why on earth does this feel like it will take forever to start!! I want to get started right away! Hubby and I have decided that we aren't going to sell any possesions at this time, we have to have 2 cars, and since we aren't sure if we are done in the child department we are reluctant to sell any baby things that we would then have to repurchase.... seems silly to us.

Goal #1 discontinue all use of CC's by July 15th.

This is because of the kids birthday party, which is the 15th.

Goal #2 $1000 emergency fund by August 2nd.

Welcome to July....

The month where I will establish an emergency fund, and tighten the tourniquet to stop the bleeding... since I started this blog I admitted we would not be able to stop using the credit cards right away, however I am pleased to say that in a week, gas and groceries, we only used a little over $100. It feels good.

So Happy 4th, so far so good my husband started his part time job on Monday, and it's going OK. Unfortunately, today being his day off, he got the stomach bug I had earlier in the week, luckily he doesn't need to be at work will 7 am tomorrow, so he has time to recoup.

I am thrilled to already have a reader! Thank You so much for your kinds words, and I hope you keep visiting me!!!!
