http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Then, a couple days later Phil was looking at some stuff for school and said, "I don't think our total loan amount is right." What? Second, debt stinks. Ok, so I already knew that. But do you see the numbers I am throwing around here? I am talking about tens of thousands of dollars! Thursday, April 24, 2014. More on credit cards. Like every single day, right? First of all, nobody needs. Its important to cla...

Becoming Debt Free: Small successes and interest payments
http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014/07/small-successes-and-interest-payments.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Small successes and interest payments. We paid off another loan! That's more than the initial loan was even for! And that is not. Even including the $1,100 we had already paid in the past, so it was all that interest just adding up over time. And that's just one of our "small" loans. That's nothing compared to the $18,000 loan at 7.9% interest! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog is about our exp...

Becoming Debt Free: Why we aren't going to buy a house...yet
http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014/07/why-we-arent-going-to-buy-houseyet.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Why we aren't going to buy a house.yet. Lately we have been asked a lot if and when we are going to buy a house. This questions almost always immediately arises after we tell people that we are living in an apartment. We never got this question in any of our previous apartment homes, but I guess now that Phil is done with school and has a "real" job, apartment living is not considered very cool. Because the...

Becoming Debt Free: May 2014
http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Sunday, May 25, 2014. I'm always looking for new ways to save money. Some are obvious, some take a little more work, but they all make a difference in our ultimate goal of becoming debt free. One money saving tool that we use is menu planning. I know I'm not the first person to plan out meals in advance, but I also know that most people don't do this. If you are looking to save money, this is a great way to start. I want to write s...

Becoming Debt Free: More on budgeting
http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014/05/more-on-budgeting.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Saturday, May 17, 2014. I want to write some more about budgeting because I feel like there is so much more to say. In my last post I talked about budget tools and the importance of creating a budget together. I want to talk some more about how having a budget has helped us and some of the day to day things we do. A few things we have learned to help us with our budget are:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog is about ou...

Becoming Debt Free: September 2014
http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Thursday, September 25, 2014. The difficulty is that when you live gazelle intense, life isn't very much fun sometimes. Don't get me wrong, you can have a good life without having to spend money all the time, but sometimes. So we have made a decision, and that is that we are still going to allow ourselves to buy a few new things for ourselves or our home here and there and we are NOT going to feel guilty about it. When we moved int...

Becoming Debt Free: March 2014
http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Wednesday, March 26, 2014. More on the debt. Even though we knew it wasn't good to have debt, we didn't really feel it was all bad either. It just seemed like a necessary evil. However, we are both naturally frugal and so didn't spend a lot of money on other things and always tried to live within our means in other areas of our life. But we realize now that spending the money on a real class probably would have paid off in the end.

Becoming Debt Free: More ways to save
http://wearesodebtfree.blogspot.com/2014/06/more-ways-to-save.html
A personal blog about our journey to become debt free and win with money. Friday, June 20, 2014. More ways to save. Another way that I have learned to save money is by making lists and doing what I call "pre-shopping". Doing this has made a huge difference in helping me to avoid both impulse buys and buyer's remorse. So I decide to either add the new item to my list and hope to get it later, or buy it now and push something else back for a later time (or cut it altogether). Read more about me here:.
