I week ago my car started sounding horrible. It seems to have a bad wheel bearing on the passenger side front. At least I hope is just a wheel bearing. My car will finally go to the local auto shop in a few days. Luckily we have a third vehicle. Its an 18 year old truck that we just for hauling stuff.
I got in the truck to go to work and it seems to be not firing on one cylinder. The truck shakes pretty good whens it idling and has kind of a chugging sound. It probably needs new spark plugs, and a distributor cap. But I've been driving it everyday anyway. We have some money saved for auto repairs but probably not enough to cover both vehicles.
Last weekend we used the holiday weekend to work on our house. We started putting on the siding on the back of the house. The siding has been in the garage since last summer, when we put the siding on the other sides of the house. We were able to get the siding up to the second floor. I was pretty happy with what we got done. Afterwards we measured the rest of the area left to cover. It was around 800 square feet, and we only have about 570 square feet left. We are going to have to order some more siding. I really want to have the outside of the house done before winter.
So these are expenses that we are going to have to try to fit in our budget. We should be able to do it without a problem. But I'm not sure it we'll have much extra for paying on our debt.

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.
