We’re meeting an Arkansas reader today and initially, I thought she was the first one!

Watch Tracy’s Debt Free Scream. I’m working on baby step 3 (3-6 months emergency fund) while paying cash for my new home projects. Watching Dave Ramsey’s live show daily pushed me through those days I thought it just wasn’t going to happen and wanted to quit or just go shopping.
