My personal budget update and car problems
This week’s budget – Since my birthday is in a couple days, I had to renew my nursing license. In Maine, registered nurses renew licenses every two years by your birthday. With that paid, the rest of my money on hand will go to repairs for my car to get a sticker. I’ve also asked [...]
Poor as a church mouse but happy – Conquering my own debt crunch
My New Life – I moved myself and the boys 200 miles north and started over again… five weeks ago. I’ve now been working for a month (car insurance due again so I can FEEL the shift to life becoming a cycle). I’m getting geared up starting an actual BUDGET! October – the timing is [...]
Budget Fright is Setting In – The Numbers Make Me Jittery
Who needs a BUDGET? I do! Yes, at church today we had a special speaker from Bob Jones University on stewardship and debt. I wasn’t going to set up a time to meet with him while he was here because I thought I could figure this out by myself BUT when I realized I would [...]
Getting Out of Debt – I’m Starting From Scratch… Again.
Working on Getting Out of My Own Debt Crunch I’m in the middle of moving – I start my new job this coming Monday and it means a 200 mile move. So not only am I packing and decluttering (I truly need to simplify – and I mean SIMPLIFY) – I am spending money [...]
Debt – The Crux of the Matter
By debtcrun
Debt collectors rise to the occasion – I received a call yesterday from a less than friendly debt collector that instantly characterized me as a “professional debtor” and someone that “positions myself” to not only get myself out of my responsibilities but look to sue others. This telephone conversation went downhill fast!
First of all, [...]
Debt Free Living – Dave Ramsey’s Radio Show Yesterday
By debtcrun
The Dave Ramsey radio show I listened to yesterday had a 38 year old woman that yelled “We’re debt free!” for herself and her husband – an Air Force pilot, after clearing 25,000 worth of debt and now owns their house free and clear – worth $150,000. That figure was absolutely stunning.
Let that sink [...]
Debt Free Living – Turn Your Focus from THINGS to People
By debtcrun
Breaking Free From Debt – Debt-free living is such a key area of our lives that needs to be changed in America. The focus needs to be taken off of THINGS and put on PEOPLE … the time we spend shopping for stuff to fill our closets and cabinets could be and should be, [...]
Managing Money – Don’t Let a Warped Mindset Keep You Trapped in Debt
By debtcrun
Managing Money – A warped mindset will keep you in debt longer and cost you more just because you can’t see the BIG picture. Talking to a family member that stopped by yesterday – she is still paying on a personal loan that she took out three years ago on a car that she [...]
Debt Crunch – The Working Poor is NOT about Them.
By debtcrun
Debt Crunch – I’ve been in a mood. It’s time tickin’ away. Waiting for a paycheck every two weeks. Knowing how much I am paying for my health insurance and getting cranky at how little living sparingly is NOT making much progress. I think it all stems from the fact that piecing out slots [...]
Debt Crunch and Saving for Retirement – Irresponsible Economists
By debtcrun
Debt Crunch and Saving for Retirement – A Yahoo! headline caught my eye today on the front page “Americans May Be Saving Too Much” so I bit and read Laura Rowely’s article on Yahoo! Finance “Rethinking Retirement Savings (Or Not)” I’ve got to say this article is totally irresponsible journalism (if that’s what such [...]
