Thank you, Dave Ramsey. After watching only three DVD recordings of this corny guy, I actually do feel more financially peaceful! Imagine.
On Friday I met with Carla to examine my budget. It's good to have a second pair of eyes, you know? Here are the results of our corporate shakedown:
I paid off my credit card and made the fateful decision to not take on a $60,000 student loan debt. I think this was good for my financial solvency. I don't know what solvency means.
I can also, guilt-free and with no debt, acquire new Sonicare toothbrush heads, Norton Antivirus software, and a haircut...all within the next two months. Okay, I can tell you're not as excited as me and I'm okay with that. I am stoked.
In addition, at Carla's urging I increased my bi-monthly food budget from $10 to $35, which seems excessive to me but she insisted it was necessary. She made me promise to eat meals. Apparently occasional bagels at work don't cut it. So I went to Safeway and bought bananas, pasta, and juice, and walked out feeling completely domesticated and lovely. Like I should be wearing a skirt or something.
This week I will attempt a full-blown Dave Ramsey budget. I will keep you posted.
By the way, Amy is awesome.

Dave Ramsey is amazing. Everyone I know who has followed his steps have gotten to a great place. You should ask Adam about the antivirus. I guess the guy that works on your computers (your dad's friend) told him there are some better cheaper ones. It would be worth asking Adam about and see if he knows anything that could maybe save more money :) Hope it continues to be a blessing for you.
