August 12th ~ What Have YOU Done to Get Debt FREE ?

One of the biggest reasons for creating MommyLuvs2save was to create a community of moms and dads who want to help their family save money when buying essentials in order to free up money for debt repayment. My own family has paid off over $111,500 in consumer debt including credit cards, student loan debt and 2 vehicles. I am a teacher at heart. I want to use the skills that I have learned to help YOU ditch debt. I want to encourage each of you in your efforts so that one day you can feel the freedom of being debt free. I’m not quite there yet either (we still have a mortgage) so I need encouragement as well 

It can be very difficult to pay down debt. There are many temptations to spend money. We live in a culture that encourages debt and spending. In addition, expenses come up and there never seems to be any extra money for paying down debt. I want to urge each of you to participate in a challenge. Just leave a comment about one positive step you’ve taken for your family each day. Did you eat in instead of going out? Did you save money at the grocery store? Did you pay extra on your credit card? Leave a comment below and we will cheer one another on every day and every step of the way.

* I will also be sharing my progress from the day prior.

My Progress: I had a decent day yesterday. Kayla went to a friend’s house to hang out for most of the day. I dropped her off and picked her up. My parents came over for lunch. They brought Liv and I a sandwich. We chatted and then put YouTube on the TV and played a few songs that we all love. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon. I made sausage, mac ‘n cheese and corn for dinner.

I watched the Sixers game after dinner. I had a sore throat and was tired for most of the afternoon, so I went to bed early. The girls have basketball practice this morning, so we all turned in on the early side. I did all of my Bing searches

So how about you ? What did you do ?? Let’s make 2020 our year !
