Funny things just keep happening to us. Not funny ha ha, but funny unusual. Dear hubby and I have been sticking to our budget and we are paying off our car in record speed. That is the only thing we owe on besides the house and I am so happy about that. Anytime we get extra money we pay extra on the car. We are also saving our 3-6 month emergency fund. That has been a huge deal. We have never had extra money to truly save before. We have always saved through the 401K offered through dear hubby's job and that is growing like crazy.
If you have never listened to Dave Ramsey, I highly recommend it. He has a plan that works. It is working for us in ways we could never imagine. I like Dave because he uses scripture to illustrate his plan and shows how the Bible has a plan for money management too. I like Dave's concept of giving, hubby and I have always given off the top to our Church and other local charities. In Dave's budget giving is the first category, because you should give first. The Bible also says what ever you give, you will receive in return ten fold. I have seen this just this week. It is so funny how things happen sometimes. Think about sharing your wealth with your Church or a local food bank. They are all in need and you will get back way more than you ever give. If you are giving try giving a little more and see how your life can change. Ours has changed in ways that would take me years to post. We are truly blessed.
