Chevy_Chick95's Money Matters Challenge
Hey all!!
I have been documenting my current journey in a thread I started before I was introduced to Dave Ramsey. I decided since it is no longer about being stuck in "no hope land" as I was in [ame="http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105354"]THIS [/ame]thread, I needed a new thread and a new title.
I decided not to put this in the Dave Ramsey forum because It is my daily challenge with being frugal, funding my BEF and getting ready to move on to BS2.
Hope ya'll enjoy!:wahoo:

Okie Dokie, it is Thursday
**Pizza for dinner and having it for lunch.
**Goulash for dinner tonight.
**Started work at Michaels, it is like I never left Kmart. :lmao:
**Need to make a list of crap to get done tonight- house is a disaster and I haven't sold half the stuff I listed on Craigslist.
Ya know, It is crazy. I don't know anyone in my family that has a money plan. Maybe my aunt, but her husband blows that away.. It really is nice to know were I am going, and what I am doing with every cent. I feel so structured now. So much more secure. I really like it.

Good luck with the Michael's job and congratulations on getting a plan together, aka budget, for your finances.

Keep up the great work!! I am spending this month figuring out how I spend all my money, so that by next month, I can maybe get on track as well. It is always both motivational and educational to read how other people are doing it!
