Hi, another one from Canada here
Hi everyone

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been browsing around here quite a bit lately, and I think I am ready to jump in. I can't wait to join some of the challanges and I'm sure I'll have tons of questions for everyone.
A little about myself. I live in Ontario with my Fiance (I just call him DH, we've been engaged for over 5 years). We have two boxer dogs, who are the loves of my life as well as a bad kitty (but I love her too). DH's dad also lives with us and is retired from the military. We also have a baby on the way, due December 10th
So as you can see we have a full house! DH is between jobs right now, although he is working part time for now. I do work full time, but things are going to be tight if DH doesn't find something soon; which is what led me here. I knew I had to get our finances together if we are going to make it through this.
I've already set up a budget (based on DH's previous job, but now I can alter it as needed) and we are well on our way to being debt free (not counting the mortgage).
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know everybody and will see you around the boards.
