Our plan is going to take us several years and I think celebrating will motivate us when the going gets long and tough. Today I am proud to say that we have completed our second step : Increase business emergency savings to a specific number. We also have some renovations and equipment that cannot wait and we need to cash flow.

A lot of life happened over 7 years and our plan changed slightly, but our goal remains to achieve complete freedom from debt. Our 2019 Financial Goal. After years of scrimping and saving and not spending extra money on things, we have achieved the biggest financial goal we have ever set for ourselves in our 19 years of marriage.

I encouraged you to build an emergency fund or pay down debt with your savings. My goal is to save as much money as I can this fall. That’s my goal. I don’t know if it’s attainable in a few short months but having this lofty goal has me determined to save. Tiny bits can be a great motivator.

A budget could help you avoid late and insufficient funds fees, find money for an upcoming trip or expense, and ease a disagreement over finances in a marriage. Personally, budgeting has allowed us to control of our money, reach financial goals, and start planning for our dream life. Another way to think of a budget is a spending plan.
