Shoes Anyone!

DSW has a great sale going on. If you are in need of some shoes, now is the time to buy them. The are having a great sale 30% - 70% off. I just scored a pair of $70 shoes for 39.95 plus free shipping. I needed some new shoes and got a great deal. Here is the link: http://www.dsw.com/?cm_re=Hdr-_-Home. Be sure to go to the Clearance section.

Nine West also has an End of the Season Sale up to 70% off. Here is the link; http://www.ninewest.com/.
If you budget for shoes and clothes each month you can take what's left and put that in your Emergency fund or toward paying off your debt.

My husband and I were doing our budget last night and were surprised at what we could put toward our debt. If you stop eating out and spending just because, you will find money in all sorts of places. We did!

Until next post Stay Focused!

Making Progress

Step 2 of Dave Ramsey's book is Paying off your debt "Debt Snowball." We will be on this step for quite a while. No worries because I am going to be debt free in two years!

My husband and I have really buckled down and were able to pay off a nice chunk of debt within the last week. It doesn't stop there. I can see it and taste it. The freedom of being debt free. Owe no one but to love them.

Paying off debt from the smallest amount to the largest is a brilliant idea. It makes you feel as though you really getting somewhere. You don't get discourage, you just keep moving.

I thank God that he showed me this book "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. I always wanted to be debt free but didn't know what steps to take. It feels great to have an emergency fund and it feels awesome paying off our bills. I am excited for what is in store for us next.

Stay Tuned.... Until Next Post!
