Wendy and I are trying to get out finances in order. I would love to be one of those success stories that never has to owe money except bills. It will take a long time to do that. The good news is that overall we do not owe a lot of money. That may change after Joy is born. Our problem is that we have a hard time saving more. We come close to putting out what we put in.
Wendy has a renewed interest in the principles of Dave Ramsey. She has a friend that was recently on his show. Most of his principles sound like they would work. It does require sacrifice, but so do a lot of things. Sometimes I can be cynical and say there are conditions why that worked. Some of the results of the success stories sound too far fetched. Some of does peak my interest.
Wendy and I are going to give it a try. We have already been paying off some debt. Now we have to work on a budget and saving. Maybe some day we can check that off our list. Okay, okay. We will cash that in. Is that better?
Wendy is trying to sell my comic books and a few other collectibles. So far they have only been collecting dust. Why should not we collect money from them? Sell before sale I guess is the new motto.
