May is over and another months budget is complete. May was our lowest income month to date. Compared to April, which was our highest income month this year, May wasn't even half of April's income. The reason May was the lowest month is because we haven't been working extra. We saved money to work on the house in April, and in May we stayed busying working on the house.
We have been replacing the roof over the Deck and downstairs bathroom. We also tore down the old garage behind the house. This has been taking up all our extra time. Plus is it the season for summer sports and there is always ball games.
Even though we didn't work extra , we were still able to pay on our debt a total of $625 Extra.

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.
