The Money Code And How To Crack It
Erin – “I finally sat down to recalculate debt and sort of find a budget after falling off the wagon a bit the past two months. Turns out we somehow shaved off just over $5000 in debt without even realizing it since Jan!
No wonder we feel like going out to eat just isn’t in the cards, and that weekend closing the bars in town hurt just a bit more than usual – we’ve become so used to our money going where it should that I guess we’re noticing the waste more than usual!!
Without even knowing, you guys have been a huge motivation because I just want to keep up with you.” #MoneyWin
