I know of few of you who read this are also Dave Ramseying it right along with us...so I am posting this because it might be of interest to you.
I just finished working on our budget and allocated spending plan for the month (the allocated spending plan really works for us because Jason is paid weekly and it helps us to see each week what we are going to have to pay out of that week's check and what is left {or not left} to put towards debt) -yes, I am a few days late-but better late than never! I also reconciled my check register with our bank statement while I was at it-which hit on the first try by the way-yeah!! Dave would be so proud! Anyway...before my dear husband left this morning he asked me to mail a check for $100 to pay extra on a medical bill for this month. I said OK...but I am thinking in my head "how does he know we are going to have an extra $100 this week...I haven't even done our allocated spending plan yet?" So - not that I doubt my husband's superior intellect :)- but I just needed to reassure myself, (and it was supposed to be done already anyway) I finished the spending plan, paid all the bills that have to be paid this week, and balanced my check book and guess what?....there was almost exactly $100 left! How does he do that???

Well we are on day two of our first week of budget ville- and i didn't realize i would have to talk to jared so much! I don't think we did very good the first budget and we will need to tweek it some but it is getting us in to a pattern of communication and that will help so much toward the end goal!
It sounds like you guys are doing great ! keep at it!
