Finding Peace With Your Pennies #1 - Set Your Goals (and Stick with them)

Hello and welcome to SSS! We are back and ready to inspire!

For the month of February I will be bringing you financial advice that will help you reach your goals and live a happy, stress-free life.

Let me tell you a little bit of my background first. My husband and I have been married 10 years and in those years we haven't budgeted much or saved any money for that matter. We always talked about how we wished we could save money but always used the excuse "We live paycheck to paycheck and we just can't afford to!". Those words make me cringe now!

Two years ago we made a family decision for me to stay home for health reasons and also to take care of the home and our production business. It opened up many opportunities to build our business and for me to heal both physically and spiritually. It also meant that we would be taking a small pay cut until the business picked up. Two years later business picked up and my husband was blessed with his dream job and things changed but we were still not saving any money and so many dreams were still just that.. dreams! So we both looked into attending Financial Peace University classes over the course of 4 months to learn just what we could do to change our situation! In that time we learned a plethora of tips and tricks on how to be financially successful!

We are on our way to finding Peace among our Pennies! Check back next month to hear all about how we jumped into saving money and budgeting for success!
