No post for a while...

I'm still here and we're still doing the Dave Ramsey thing. Nothing new to report really. Still struggling with the budget. Still breaking the rules occasionally but I think we're doing alright for just getting started. I spoke with our financial advisor a week or two back. He recommended taking some money out of the mutual funds to put towards an inexpensive vehicle. We've looked at a few over the last week. Found a really nice one in the paper this weekend. It's about $2,000 more than what we planned on spending but it would probably last us at least 2 years rather than 10 months. If we kept making our current payment we could have it paid off in a year so I'm going to consider it. He also suggested cashing out our universal life insurance and using the money to buy term life insurance. I'll think we're going to do that as well.

More later...

Week 1

Well, week 1 is "in the books." Not much to report really. We stayed pretty close to our budget so far I believe. There are still some things we need to tweak, BLOW money, misc. (had to buy a new battery for the lawn mower)...

I'm meeting with our financial adviser today to go over a couple of the questions from my last post, we'll see what he says. We are also going to meet with our "car guy" this week to see what he can do to get us out of at least one lease and into something around $5K. I'll keep y'all posted on how these things pan out.
