  • Changing Our Family's Tree

    "We placed all of our $2,400.00 in an emergency fund. (Thanks Dave Ramsey) We were fortunate that the same day our check came my husbands paycheck had tripled due to overtime. So we paid all of our monthly expenses for the next two months and placed the stimulus check into an emergency account. It feels good knowing it's there. BTW, aside from our mortgage we are DEBT FREE! And people, you CAN live without credit cards!"
