Budget

Posted on the 12 June 2013 by Lifeofasportswife @jessaolson
Gary and I have talked about this for almost a year now, and we are finally going through with it. We are doing the Financial Peace University this Wednesday and every other Wednesday for the next 3 months. I am so excited about doing this, but I am also a little scared to be honest!! 

Gary and I weren't to smart with our finances in college. I know my biggest debt is credit card because I loved to shop. Mostly I wanted to keep up with everyone. I know not my smartest decision but I was young and in college. I have really wanted to get our debt under control and much more manageable before we start having kids. We have put off doing the class before because of finances or moves to different states. Right now we are in a really good spot to start.

This weekend I watched the preview to Financial Peace, and also watched the series Strapped from Lifechurch. Also we got our credit report and wrote down everything in an excel spreadsheet. We also went through past bills we have gotten and added them to the same excel spreadsheet. Before the class we wanted to have an accurate account of exactly how much debt we had between the two of us. In the past 2 years we have gotten a lot of bills paid off, but we still have a lot more to tackle. One of our goals for the next 10 years is to be completely debt free.
