While it’s certainly not the same as having the tangible items in my hands or experiencing the thrill of being at a dream vacation destination, I’ve found that the simple act of pinning what I like gives me the motivation to work harder , earn more and save more in order to potentially have these things in the future. If so, how?

Closing costs : Per Realtor.com these are typically paid by the buyer, these costs can add between 2 – 7% of the purchase price to the buyers bill – but a motivated seller might grant some $$$ towards them. So our total basis: $210,000 + $352 + $1100 = $211,452 minus $59,803 = $151,649. I didn’t – do you?

Building a college finance fund takes dedication and consistency. Rent books, books on tape, movies, and read magazines at the library. Write down the budgeted amount and how much was actually spent to stay motivated. When your children are college age, they can always get a private student loan.

If you are like me, you like gifting your loved ones on special occasions, but buying all those gifts can put a real dent in your finances. For example, your statutory expenditures, such as rent, utilities, and gas, go into one envelope. The more you save, the more you feel motivated to save more as you see your savings account grow.

Renting, not having super nice furniture or cars, having mismatched dishes and bedding. We also listed to The Dave Ramsey Show every day for daily motivation while we worked the baby steps. Who handles the day-to-day finances in your home or do you work on it equally? We completely started over. We sold EVERYTHING!

I could barely afford my $600 rent payment, which was in a horrible neighborhood. Yes, I did follow a few of Dave Ramsey’s strategies, but I also starting reading other finance blogs to see how they paid off debt so quickly. Many of their ideas were inspiring and their stories continued to motivate me through the entire process.
