Relating with Money

"Accountability and support are the ladders that lift us up from life's pits."

One step closer to getting somewhere, Bill and I went to class last night and laughed our butts off! This week Dave talked about nerds and free spirits uniting, basically how very different men and women are, in every way you can think of. The fact that: The #1 thing that ends marriages in America is money fights, Wow! He made it clear both should be making the financial decisions, then we are accountable to someone and that we should be teaching our kids about money. Prov 22:6-7. Lots to think about this week...


We made commitments to...save something in an emergency fund, even if it's only $4 bucks and to come to class.

This weeks homework:
  • Read ch.14-18
  • We are going to begin collecting credit card offers from the mail and at the end of class total them up to see how much debt we've avoided.


We have defiantly taken the first few steps needed to shift our thinking and begin taking control. We have a little tiny emergency fund started exactly 7.50% of our goal, Yay! We are on our way! I love the member resource website... very easy to use and lots of helpful tools. I feel like we already have a better handle on things, although It doesn't seem possible in just over a week but when your only spending what comes in, that's a heck of allot better than borrowing.


"The rich rules over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender." Prov 22:7
