    Default Using positive motivation

    This is an idea that's perhaps been kicked around a bit on the goals/resolution. However, I intend to use one of my freebie calendars and record $ saved each day from coupons, rebates, freebies, extra debt payments, found money, etc. That will show DH it really does pay!

    Alabamagirl that is a good idea. I believe I will post in my planner and then that way I can do a monthly report for Dh since he doesn't like day to day stuff. He is a big picture type person.

    I think that's a great idea. I have a planner in my purse that is considered the holy grail...I'll write it in there so DH will see.
