Well, I have my $52 for this week so I'm off to a good start. Half of week ones goals complete.
Now we just have to make up a budget.
The other thing that I heard of that helps with paying off debt is that you make a paper tree and put it on the back of your bedroom door, then for each hundred you owe you put a leaf on the tree, then as you pay each hundred off (not counting the house) you take off a leaf. Once you have a bare tree you can then put leaves on for each hundred you save. Its a great visual. Also the act of tearing off a leaf or placing one on is very rewarding.
I must say a key to looking after your debt is working together. Budgeting together, not putting blame on the other for your financial mess (you got there together) and working as a team to get out of debt. Coming up with strategic ways of living debt free. This will take tons of pressure and guilt off of each other. Ultimately work together, take on your financial wellbeing as a team. You got in debt together you can get out of debt together.
Now to research some ideas and mention them next time.
