A new year, a new chance

December 31st, 2006 at 03:27 pm

I have been reading everyone's blogs for about three weeks, and decided that it is a good time to take the plunge, and start the new year with new goals, and new inspiration.
I have one credit card to pay off, and then want to start saving in ernest!
The credit card has a balance of $2,560.00, and I want to have it paid off by mid April.
I consider myself a fairly frugal person, and am a fan of Dave Ramsey, and the Tightwad Gazette, but my weakness is spending money on my kids and their kids!
I really need to concentrate on building savings, and contributing to my IRA.

Welcome, Nance.
If I may make a comment about keeping finances separate, I am now a firm believer of it! My ex and I kept ours separate mostly out of convenience, but when we broke up, it turned out to be a godsend!

Anyways, enjoy your stay.
