Not Looking Back!

It was just last Spring when Hubby finally realized he was really poor at managing our financial affairs. He has been working with me on the side lines with our budget but doesn't really care for numbers(which is why we are in a financial mess lol!).

Anyhow since last Spring I have been able to tackle paying off our Target Visa CC that was 1,000.00 and also a small Credit Union Loan we had for 2,000.00. We are NOT using the CC's anymore and it felt great to pay off that Credit Union Loan.

I am still working on hubby to not go back into the habit of borrowing. My 17 year old nearly had him convinced he needed a car but my son didn't have enough for the car so he told DH to finance it. Oh that got me going! Needless to say the deal didn't go through and I told DS that he needed to save for the car if he wanted one.My husband and son are like 2 peas in a pod(they don't look alike but sure do think alike, yikes!)
