Budget '14


Here we are back into cold wintry mornings with crisp sunrises. The kind that make your lungs buckle with frosty air.

The hubs and I are giving it a go, again. The zeal of money managing has been stoked and we're off and running with the budget of 2014. We've a clear direction now, thanks to many wonderful blogs I read that help to gently pluck those budgeting heartstrings. Yes, I have budgeting heartstrings...they lie next to my shopaholic strings...it's a dangerous place in my heart...there's a constant orchestra being conducted and it's either playing one tune or the other.

In keeping with a Dave Ramsey style cash budget for the past 8 or so years, we've done a great deal of good. We're moving up in our baby steps (for those of you who aren't familiar with Mr Ramsey...please google. His baby steps are your key to financial freedom.)

Looking forward to a few baby steps being crossed off this year...yahoo!

Here's a link to a blogger whom I very much admire, she's real and funny and she and her husband love the Lord. It's Stacy from Stacy makes Cents. http://www.stacymakescents.com/10-reasons-youre-broke  there's a link to one of her husbands articles.

Anywho, off to feed the babes! chat soon!
