Car Problems

We have had a few car problems so far this month. My wifes SUV started running bad so we took it a local shop to have it looked at. Luckly we had an extra vehicle, its a 92' old but it runs. So I took the old truck and the wife drove my car. Then more bad luck happened when my car refused to even attempt to start when the wife went to leave work one morning. Now we were down to 1 vehicle. I wasn't sure what we were going to do?

Thank goodness the garage got to my wifes car earily and called us two days before they were scheduled to be looked at it. So we got the vehical back just in time.

We didn't have enough saved for Auto repairs so we will have to make it up in this budget or have to dip into the emergency money.

Happy with our progress

Our first year on the Total Money Makeover is complete. We have had a written budget every month this last year. We have paid extra on our debt, and also saved money each month for future expenses, each month. In December we paid an extra 1849.95 on our debt, which brought out total paid off to over $28,000. Overall it has been a huge success. We hoped to complete baby step 2 in two years, and we seem to be ahead of schedule. I hope we can this pace up.

We still haven't got a WILL written. Also we still need to buy some extra life insurance on me. We will hopefully have these goals taken care of soon.
