The Year Without: Check out the ticker!

Check out the ticker!

54% of our debt is gone! What a HUGE relief! Amazing! I am so excited. It seems like it has been forever, but at the same time, it's only been 7 months! Next month we will finish paying off college loan #1. That will leave us with just our last & final debt. We started out with 4 loans to repay & we're almost down to 1. Awesome!

Who Am I? What Is This?

Hi, I'm Helen. I'm the crazy lady who thought this would be a great challenge. A whole year without wasting money or resources (ie buying used instead of new).
The hubby (Luke) jumped right on board. Then, I asked some other great mamas to join me. So, here we are... Some crazy families making a HUGE commitment for one year - 2009.
The goal for our family is to be out of debt, other than our mortgage. We currently owe a little on Luke's car & a lot on my college loans. By sticking to this commitment we'll be able to pay off that debt! The sacrifices of the next year will (hopefully) lead to many more years of joy and, ultimately, financial freedom.
