I'll help hold you accountable. Being out of debt is the best thing EVER. And adding to savings is a close second. Just let me know what you want me to do and I'll be happy to help :)

Thank you thank you thank you! We were sooo close to being out of debt, like literally 2 collections bills away.. then I blew the last few hundred of that money and things showed up I didn't ever expect to see. It's like God was showing me what I could have avoided had I just listened and followed Him the whole way through.

I just want someone to write me regularly, and make me update my journal about the financial decisions I am making daily. I'd like someone to ask me "Have you payed such&such yet?" just so I have a constant reminder that I can't get away from it this time.

Money has never been a problem for me, because I've never had much of it. When I see a big number like that, I worry! I never got to learn what to do when I have a lot of it!

You're going to feel so good when you don't owe anyone anymore!
