Money, Money, Money

Bryce and I have embarked on a new road. A road paved with sweat, tears, laughter, and a lot of ibuprofen. A road named Budget Ave. Yes, we have joined with Dave Ramsey to achieve Financial Peace. I thought that it might be fun to journal through this time, and see how my thoughts and feelings change. And because we have a pack mentality, I know that you want to follow along with me.
We are currently on week 3 of our FPU(Financial Peace University) journey, and I must tell you that it has been harder than we thought that it would be. We knew that we had a few spending "black holes" and they were even more apparent when we sat down to do our budget. What do you mean that we don't have a GI Joe fund? Can't we only spend $30 a month on groceries? Does Elise really go through that many diapers? Can you potty train a one year old?
I am sure that these, and many other questions will be answered in the weeks to come. Stay tuned, this could prove to be very entertaining!
