A FICO Make-Over Story
There was once a girl who was married to a boy. They mis-judged and mis-used their credit for ten long years. One day, after everything was just about hopeless, they decided to turn their life around. This is a story of how a fun-loving couple in their 30s decided to become debt free, in order to purchase their first home for their three lovely children.

They are going UP! I cannot believe it! We are finally getting somewhere! How exciting!

Budget Meeting

DH and I are on the same paycheck cycle right now. On Friday, we each get a paycheck and I get my annual bonus (kind of nice considering I have been issued a pink slip of sorts). Paycheck one is estimated, it could be more, but never less. Paycheck 2 is right on.

Here is what came of our Feb Pay 1 and 2 Budget meeting:

It's great you came up with the plan together. If you keep it up those debts will be gone in no time.

I can see what your main problem is. That Honda payment. WOW! Sell that car, holy smokes. That is an outrageous amount to pay for a vehicle that depreciates faster than any object known to mankind. You guys also need to cut out verizon, internet, allowance, satellite, etc.

No Pain | No Gain

No one ever said this was going to be easy.
