My Other Blog
In the past couple of months Sean and I have seriously begun looking at a new house. Our current one has been great to us, but with three growing children, it is simply too small. We found a house that we would love to own, but are not in a position financially that we can afford to take on such a large mortgage payment.
I've decided to become serious about saving money for a downpayment and get rid of my debts. It's going to be a long, hard road, and I need to meticulously track my progress and hold myself accountable in order to reach my debt free goal. I'd also really like to be able to deposit more money into my children's 529 accounts, and have an emergency fund for our family.
In order to reach these goals, I've been doing a lot of research the past few weeks. I've visited several other debt free blogs and have been inspired by the writers. I've also visited many frugal living blogs, being inspired there as well. I've looked into various ways to earn money online, through Get Paid To sites, surveys, and ads.
I don't want to bog this blog down with a bunch of financial stuff, so I've started a separate blog, solely for debt/frugal living purposes. On that blog I plan on documenting my income, from my job, GPT sites, surveys, and ads. I also plan on posting my current debts, using Networth IQ.
I am hoping this will keep me motivated and accountable. I've already started to "trim the fat" off my expenses by not going out to lunch every day that I am at work. It's hard! I went this whole week though, bringing in my lunch. Yay for me!
