    Default Hello! New to a frugal lifestyle

    Hey everyone! My wife and I are on a mission to become debt free and we've started our journey last month. We have read Dave Ramseys book and are attempting to work his plan to become debt free.

    My wife and I are 28 years old and we have a 2.5 year old daughter. Our goal has been for my wife to stay home and we've been unable to do so with our debt, which totaled $33,000 when we started.

    We made some sacrifices (sold a car and ATV) to get started and have $26500 left, but are trying to get this paid off as soon as possible!
    I have a blog I post on about our journey, but I don't think the moderators will allow a URL until I've posted a few times.

    I joined the site since we have cut a lot of "wants" out of our life and are trying to live a frugal lifestyle until we can get our debts cleared!

    Wish us luck and thanks for the site!
