    Default Newish & very inspired...

    Hello! I've been lurking, reading and trying lots of new frugal ideas for a couple of months. I've also been working on paying down our credit card debt, and finally have made noticeable headway!!!! I've been waiting for this day & I just had to share it.

    Over the past year, we've been averaging over $1000 a month toward paying off our cars and our CC debt. So far, we've paid off one car and the other will be paid off next month. AND...drumroll...today, I paid off our first credit card!

    We have a $1000 emergency fund in place, so I'll start attacking our next CC now!

    Just had to share my excitement and say THANK YOU! You all help keep me inspired and dedicated...
