If I had to describe my life so far I'd say I'm living the American Dream.
I am 27, have a wonderful husband, two dogs, and a townhouse that we own. We have 2 cars and about every thing else we want.
Unfortunately living the American Dream does not come without a cost. We are now in a position where we have a mortgage, two car payments, lots of student loans (mostly mine), and a growing credit card debt. At some point we have to quit living so frivolously and start budgeting and saving. And just to make things interesting last friday was my last day of work...I'm now unemployed.
I started nursing school this week and am very excited to be changing careers and moving into a field that I feel passionately about. I'm actively looking for a new job with flexible hours. At this moment the stress is compounding; but we have been planning for this moment and have cut out all unnecessary expenses.
In this blog I hope to tell my story, provide some money saving tips, cheap meals, free activities to do, and updates on our progress! As you stumble upon my site please post your comments.
