Week 9 of 80 – Not impressed With Our Debt – September the Results
I knew September would be a difficult month for getting any extra debt paid off because our school taxes were due. Amazingly for the first time in about 8 years we not only paid our school taxes in full and on time but we also got some debt paid too! Our Old Navy balance startedContinue reading “Week 9 of 80 – Not impressed With Our Debt – September the Results”
Week 8 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt -Testing Our Resolve
I wanted to give up many times this week. So many things have come up and have tested my resolve about paying off our debt, but we have pushed past those feelings of doubt for now. Part of our problem was we were weary from working so hard and not having a day off. It’sContinue reading “Week 8 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt -Testing Our Resolve”
Week 7 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt – September Dinners – Meal Planning
Already in September life in the bakery department has been brutal.

Week 4 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt – Side Hustles
I once read a book called “Side Hustle” by Chris Guillebeau. It didn’t change my life but it did get me thinking about people and their side hustles. In the book, Mr. Guillebeau gives ideas for different kinds of side hustles and how you can turn those ideas into income in 27 days. Last weekContinue reading “Week 4 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt – Side Hustles”
Week 3-1/2 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt – Buyer’s Remorse
So far this week, even though I made the extra payment to that Old Navy balance, and we are still on track, we failed miserably with not eating at home. I didn’t grocery shop (even though I work at a grocery store) so when it came to making dinners and having stuff for lunches andContinue reading “Week 3-1/2 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt – Buyer’s Remorse”
Week #3 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt -What’s Different This Time?
We have struggled for almost eight years with our debt, so what’s different this time? Why do I think the plan we are using now will successfully eliminate our debt? While I can’t completely account for all of it, what I can say is that my husband and I have finally set aside the fearContinue reading “Week #3 of 80 – Not Impressed With Our Debt -What’s Different This Time?”
Week 2 of 80 “Not Impressed With Our Debt” – The Rules
Last week I wrote about the Plan for eliminating a big chunk of our debt. This week I want to write about the Rules I have set for us along this journey. Plowing large amounts of money into your debt each week can get pretty intense and if you don’t have rules set up forContinue reading “Week 2 of 80 “Not Impressed With Our Debt” – The Rules”
