Glad to hear it Jackie. Just keep an eye on them increasing your rate in a year as they like to do that.

I just dropped to the lowest Dish package - welcome pack. Gives me network and a few other things for $23 per month. We have Netflix and Amazon for movies and better series. We live in the country so could not do over the air antenna. We are not big sports people, so it works for us.

Thanks Dan! Totally agreed, making that debt visual is a great way to encourage/challenge on to killing it for good.

SO MANY good reminders in this list...writing down the debt graph that will hopefully end in ZERO eventually is just one more visual aid that spurs us on to victory ????

Planning is really imporant as budgeting. I plan every meal and expense I do on a weekly basis. Plans are what make this journey with direction.

This is an awesome list John! We actually decided to sell a bunch of things from our basement and garage this summer, mostly because they are cluttering things but secondly because my son surprisingly made a premier soccer team and we hadn't budgeted for the team fees so we thought a good way to get some cash would be to sell a number of items that now have dust on them from sitting around our house for over four years. Looking forward to the extra money but mostly the extra space. :-)

Nice work DC! I love when I'm able to fix something without paying someone else to do it. Doesn't hurt the confidence next time either. :)

I know, it's crazy how fast this year is going! Christmas will be here before we know it.

I love it when I'm able to do a low-stress repair around the home. I'm not going to lie - multiple times I've bit off more than I can chew and it's always stressful to call someone in and get the job done. But over the past few months I've replaced a part on our dishwasher and fixed our renter's toilet. Pretty big wins if you ask me!

Terrific list! We don't use a set budget, but track the heck out of our expenses and gauge spending from there.
I appreciate the reminder to start shopping for the holidays now - something I haven't even considered but the year is flying by and that time will approach quickly!
