At the beginning of the month, our dishwasher broke. The top washer/sprayer(3rd level) assembly fell off. We decided to just wash the dishes by hand for a while. The problem with that is, my wife hates washes dishes. After a week or so, I starting feeling like my sex appeal seems to trend with the amount of dishes I do. So getting this problem being solved is going up in priority. When I finally go around to researching the problem. Buying a new dishwasher was out of the question. We didn't need a big expense while working our debt snowball. So we looked for parts online. We found a site appliance parts pros. They had the diagrams with parts break downs and actual pictures of the parts. We ordered the part standard shipping and it still arrived in 1 day. My wife even put the part in while I was a work. See, I told you she hated doing dishes.
The total Price with shipping $10.87!!! That is alot better than +$300 on a dishwasher.

The Road to financial peace.
This is a record of our journey in finding financial peace. We are using the baby steps in Dave Ramsey's - Total money makeover, book. We will be trying to follow his plan as close as we can. We hope to have an end result where we have no debt, have a large emergency fund, are saving for buy everything, are saving for our kids college, and are building wealth for retirement.
When we started this plan on January 1, 2010. I was 32 years old and my wife was 31. We had been married for 4 years. We knew this plan would take a few years before we were on the last step in the baby step process. But we are dedicated not to give up.
This blog is to help us keep on track, and keep us focused on our goal.
