    Smile My One Month FV Anniversary or: Has Anyone Seen the Old Me?

    So today is exactly a month since I joined FV, and here are the accomplishments I have had in that short time:

    -I have $200 in my mini growing EF
    -I have paid down my Visa by $950!!!!!!
    -I have not seen the inside of a restaurant, to quote Greebo, because I don't work in one...lol!
    -All my bills are up to date
    -My cupboards are full of more food than I could eat in a month
    -I no longer have that queasy feeling in my stomach and that "What if disaster strikes?" voice in my head!

    Life is good here in the Village...happy anniversary!!

    Well, good for you!

    Now keep it up and stick around.

    Also, I have to say--We TOLD you so! LOL!

    Once you get a plan and get on the frugal wagon you do reap the benefits!

    It helps to be around people who know what you are trying to do, support your hard work , and are ready with a swift kick in the seat of your pants if you need it!

    Great great news!
    The math never lies, budget in INK!

    Madness, mayhem chaos...my work here is done!
