Time to Budget is Growing – Introducing Our New Co-author – Manda

I created this blog in September of 2006 as a way to keep me motivated in getting out of debt and gaining financial freedom. This blog was intended to record our (my husband and I) financial freedom journey. My hope was and still is to help others as well.  I know there are many people like us out there that would need to be motivated and encourage to keep moving forward.

It’s been a rough road but I feel that we are a lot further a long. I would really love to tell you that I am now debt free and closer to being financially free. We have made progress but it has not been as quickly as we would have liked. But we are not giving up. No way!

I have to remind myself often that small steps forward are still steps forward. You have heard the the joke about eating an elephant, right? One bit at a time. Well, our “elephant” of debt is being eaten away one bit at a time. Sometimes with very small bits and other times bigger bit but either way you look at it the debt is being reduced.

Anyway, I decided to bring in a new author to our blog for two reasons. One, I’ve had less time to write because I am very busy with other projects. I also thought that by bringing in a new voice we could help even more people relate and be encouraged.

Manda is a mom of two children and just started the Financial Peace University classes. They are at the very beginning of their journey and Manda is eager to share her story. She is also blogs about her family life on her personal blog Manda’s Ladybugs.  Please welcome her to the blog.
