A year later...

This weekend marks one year since we listened to the audio book of the Total Money Makeover. And a year later we've paid off $10,000 on our car (not including interest.) We also took a month to get rolling on the 1st baby step, saving $1000. Not to mention how many times we had to stop debt reduction to replenish that $1000 emergency fund.
So as a bit of commemoration of that night we heard Dave's plan, we're hittin' the same road tonight and headin' to A.l.'s house. :-) Then IKEA tomorrow to buy things with cash we've saved. It's been fun. But it's not over yet. Here's to 2008, the year to be DEBT FREE!

Well, I want to thank you my friends for the "Total Money Makeover" audio book and "The Money Answer Book." I will start listening and reading today. Hopefully, I will have great progress in a year (or less).

Friend-
We were glad to give you the books.

Why not write a blog of your own? In my opinion there can never be too many personal finance blogs out there. You'd serve a double purpose: telling your story/journey and thereby encouraging others, and also keeping yourself accountable to your readers!

I really think you could write a great blog...
How 'bout it? :-)
