We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. We do meet every month to go over expenses and needs. When something unexpected comes up we have another budget meeting. Budget meetings are vital to our marriage and now they run smoothly after years of practice. Paying off debt can be done!

I usually use Yahoo Meetup groups to meet new people when I’m feeling extra social. Well, I’ve been looking for people interested in exercising in my area, but the only groups I can find meet up at gyms. Posting on Craigslist. I met a great walking partner in the past on Craigslist , so I am trying that route again.

On Sundays, we’ll meet here to catch our breath, and let everyone know how we’re finding our $1000. I noticed that the reporter was holding a copy of the ad in her hands and the first thing that came to my mind was, “Thank goodness I showered and put a little make-up on this morning”, LOL!!

I also downsized my lifestyle and sold extra furniture, clothes, and jewelry, on Craigslist. The daily finances are handled my me, but my husband and I have weekly money check-ins and monthly budget meetings. Thank you, Carrie, for being so honest with your Debt Free Story. What are your financial goals now?
