    Default I'm back and I'm feeling .... refreshed.

    Okay ladies:

    Here's my story again.

    I'm married to Zac, an awesome guy with some bad moments.
    I'm mommy to Wesley, 8 mos, an awesome baby with an ornery streak.
    I'm working full-time as a bank teller at Liberty Bank.
    I'm attending school full-time at University of Phoenix online.

    I fell off the wagon of frugality and no credit card spending, I'm not exactly sure where. With a loan from my father, I paid everything off and set to work on paying him off. Yet, as you can see from my signature, I am back into credit card debt. There is also a debt to the military as well as a house debt. I think part of the problem was that dh and I didn't have a budget. So, without realizing it, we were just creeping back up into debt.

    Now, I have a budget in place and am working on paying off my debt.

    We hope to pay one card off in full this month and then set to work on the other. I know Dave Ramsey would suggest the smallest debt to be paid off first, but the military is only charging me a 2% interest rate whereas my cards are at 12 and 14.

    So here I am ladies, I am back. And refreshed.

    Welcome back!!! I, too, fell off the wagon big time! We had all of our ccs paid off, but we have since then charged over $5k on ccs, and owe another $1k on some furniture. So, iow don't feel lonesome! lol Good luck on paying down the debt, and getting your finances in order!
