We've been trying to figure out what is the best thing, financially, for our family. With me not working and trying to pick a job (I've been on 5+ interviews...have potentially accepted one job that I'm not sure I really want, have hopefully landed one that I def want but haven't been offered yet...) and trying to figure out where we want our life to go...we need help figuring it all out. We want to be in control of our money, super control over it!! We've been very blessed lately, with borrowing cars and help with some major expenses that we weren't expecting...we've been making it work but that is not to say it hasn't been hard, we really appreciate all the blessings! Anyways, Dave Ramseys TMM will help us on our way to "financial freedom" and hopefully shed some light on where we want to go from here.
It's been nice being a housewife, both in the summer and over the past two months, and I can definitely SEE myself doing this...maybe when I have a baby...which we don't know when we want that either. But on the other hand, I just got done my Master's degree, and I do NOT want to waste it!! Why did I put myself through school? To be a school counselor. That is what I really want. Really! I know I may have to make sacrifices or take a different job until the right one comes along...I loved my time at Bo Manor in the fall, and maybe I have a chance at another job like that in the spring...but only God knows.
The point of all this rambling is that we need to get our life together...not completely but at least thinking and praying about what we want and what is the best thing for us right now. I think reading Dave R TMM will help that a little. Unfortunately, money is what makes the world go round...I wish it didn't, I hate money! But, we've got to figure out the best way to use the resources that God has blessed us with!! Dave has a great job...I may or may not get a great job...and with that comes the responsibility of what to DO with our money:) So let's sort it all out!!
So Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover is Book 10....yay! Month 2 is well under way:) I'm more than halfway done with The Mysterious Benedict Society...I love it. It's so cute. If you have a young reader...maybe 11 or up that likes to read (Ashley is 11 but the book is 480 pages long...it's a little much for her since she doesn't like to read books that big...) they will absolutely love it. I'll rate it tomorrow and also give you a brief synopsis of the story. I'm really enjoying it. I'm really enjoying the Challenge over all. It's so fun!!
Oh by the way, do you think Frodo feels that he isn't getting enough attention now that I am reading so much??? He is laying over top the book I'm reading right now....you decide??? LOL!
