This year I plan to get out of debt! I have my budget all made and the excitement to keep me going! A big part of my debt will be gone in a few months, my truck will be PAID OFF!!!! Yay!! The first part of the year I plan is to NOT use any credit cards and to be very diligent with my spending. Stop eating out because it is easier and start planning ahead and making my food.The second part, after the truck is paid off, I will take the money I was using to pay the truck to pay off my credit cards!! (Sounds like a pretty easy plan, keep tuned in to see how it plays out ;)
I put my pay check in the bank and got out the cash I'm allotted for the 2 weeks for food and gas. I headed to the store with an extra bounce in my step excited and determined to get my groceries for $20! I got things to make a few meals, which go along way when there's only one of you, and stuff for lunches. I walked out of Publix for $20.70, yay I did it only .70 over!! I was so excited, while putting the food into my truck my excitement quickly changed. I realized I forgot chicken, which was only the main ingredient in 3 of them meals I planned :( So with my head a little lower I headed back in and got chicken! So my first trip to the store I went $7.00 over budget! I guess not to bad just means a few extra PB&J's this week ;) Speaking of PB&J, that is what my lunch will be fore the next 2 weeks and since I'm not a morning person as soon as I got home I made up the sandwiches and put them in the freezer so I can just grab n go!! In efforts to not get bored with lunches I decided to write scripture on the bags so at lunch time I can feed my soul n stomach! Yes I did feel like I should be doing that for a kids lunch but hey adults gotta have fun too. :)
