    Default Hi, new here ...

    Hi I'm Katrina. I live in BC Canada. I am married with 3 children (6, 4, 1) and I have been a member of this forum for a bit but I don't remember if I"ve ever posted here before. I found it once doing a search for Dave Ramsey. Anywho, I'm hoping to reduce our spending and debt and become more organized. We currently have a fair bit of debt and no savings so we need help. I was just browsing the forums and I know that I need to set up a budget. One of the huge problems is DH has spending problems and doesn't want to make any sacrifices (ie cable, truck, etc). Another problem is that I have always been in charge of paying bills and such and I have not been staying on top of it very well. I'm hoping that by writing up a budget I can spell out to DH what we need per month and give him an allowance out of the rest.

    I know we use our debit cards too much.

    I've also been thinking of getting a work from home job doing data entry or something if I can find it. Since I still have 2 children at home (one has special needs) I would rather not find daycare.

    Looking forward to getting organized financially with you all.

    Welcome to the village!. I'm new at this too. And DH and I have spending problems. One thing that IS important is to make a real budget together (yr husband and you) and stick to it!.
    I visited Vancouver and Vancouver Island on 2006. They are very nice places!.
