One thing that set us back financially last year was our house burning down, and losing everything that mattered to us. We didn’t have any pictures of our things, no receipts, no record of what we had. The insurance company made it very difficult for us to get our things replaced.

We wanted to be sure that our things were safe if something like that ever happened again and I recently found a web site that helps keep track of that kind of stuff.

I wanted to share it with other families in case this happened to them. It’s called e-pact, http://www.e-pact.net and we use it to keep track of all our stuff now. Just hope this is a helpful tip.

Tsh, Thanks to your blog, I have Dave’s book and a plan. I don’t recall seeing anything for single mothers. I have days I feel like I need someone to keep me on track. Is there a section in his forum for this situation?

I just recently found your site and I love it! My husband and I did our financial planning for 2010 this morning, and I feel great about knowing that we are both on the same page, as to what is happening with our funds. Keep up the great work! .-= Fleurzty´s last blog ..Jan. 08 Twists =-.

It is Divine Guidance that got me to your blog today. I go to a preview “Finanaical Peace” university on Sunday. I am trying to get my husband on board. Plan on my visiting you often for inspiration, along with Crystal!

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your goals, Tsh! It is inspiring to read what others have accomplished and are planning to do, and it prompted me to sit down with my husband and evaluate our finances. I’d love to drag him to an FPU class, but I think it’s going to take some convincing.

Terrific goals! We bought a house with maybe 6% down on a 30 year note, and I will NEVER do that again. We have a fixed rate, so it isn't that bad, but it just kills me to pay PMI every month. It's a penalty for not having saved enough, basically! In 2010 we will be working towards getting 20% equity in our home so that we can stop those PMI payments. We are also going to start the college fund for our little one and pay off my husband's loans. Mine will get tackled in 2011. .-= tiffany´s last blog ..Belly Laughs =-.

You might get some insight here starting next week, when I start a series on Dave Ramsey’s baby steps… stay tuned!

My husband and I are starting our journey to becoming debt free. We have so much debt but are SO MUCH MORE SERIOUS about getting OUT of debt. We have discussed becoming debt-free before but never really stuck with it. But not this year! We are so very serious about it. I have read Dave Ramsey (LOVE HIM!) and have started a “zero-based budget”. That has really helped me to see where our money needs to go. We have written out some goals for 2010 and really hoping to do more than what we wrote down. Thank you for your post!
