Ways to Make Money – It’s Working!
Our main focus right now is finding ways to make more money to help with debt reduction. We are learning ways to make money online as well, but the quickest way to get some fast cash right away was to start selling off things around the house (most of which was just collecting dust anyway).
Here’s an update on our progress:
Surf Report: Visual Economics
Sometimes it’s hard to get into an article you know has good information. Financial topics can often be dry and boring. And we readers of today are such a visually oriented lot, aren’t we?
Enter Visual Economics. Check out these fun visual snapshots of interesting financial topics. I find that they make me want to go research into the data behind them. Either way, it’s a great way to get a quick idea about something.
Book Review: All Your Worth
It’s amazing how things that were once way too boring to be bothered with can suddenly become an obsession. That’s how it is with me and personal finance topics, lately. In my usual fashion, once I decide to do something, I become obsessed with it. I scour the Internet, I read books, I watch videos. [...]
Bits and pieces…
Breaking it up: We’ve been talking about the plan and how we broke it into smaller bits to make it more manageable. What we really haven’t done is talk about how we did it or why we are trying to do it that way. Let me attempt to explain it based in part on a post [...]

Taking off the Blinders
Get Rich Slowly has a series of articles about the stages of personal finance that he (and many others) go through. His descriptions really resonate with me as we are just beginning along the same journey he documented on his blog. But as I research ways to improve our situation, rather than finding a candle [...]
Getting out of my Nation
getting to the now from Procrasti Procrasti-Nation that is. Its where I seem to live perpetually according to Val, and I have to say, if there is something I don’t really want to do, I’m really good at finding reasons not to do it. Thus I am not writing this so much for everyone else’s [...]
Pins and needles
Anticipation is high for this plan to take effect. I want it all to fall into place and just be here now! Debt gone, the home selling/shopping and worries about starting over in a new job, state, and or life – just a funny story to talk about with family and friends. Truth for breakfast: [...]

Have you ever wished you could just quit your job, move somewhere far away and start all over?We did, so WE ARE! We woke up and realized we were in our 40's, struggling from paycheck to paycheck, not loving where we live - not really living. So we decided to change it all.
