If you wonder why we are sharing our story, please check out an excerpt below from The Baby that Saved Us Financially. Thank you for joining us on this journey!
And although we will try to detail the struggles and frustrations, we want you to know that it will probably sound easier than it was. It will probably seem like we were working through our plan like clockwork and we could see it all unfold before us. But we don’t want you to be deceived. What we are about to detail is a summary of our lives and years of struggle, of tension and many times of “not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel”. The hours of struggle would turn into days, the days into weeks, and so on. So often the ink on paper (or electronic ink) just doesn’t do justice to the pain and struggle. But we at least want to warn you to look for it. We want you to know it is real. We want you to know that when you say “I just don’t see any way out” that we’ve said the same thing. We can’t claim to be where you are at, but we can claim to know how it feels. And how that feeling of dread can affect everything you do. That is part of why we write this.

It was refreshing to hear this blog. My husband and I are the same and even had the same points of view. Then he lost his job, now it’s a struggle to find the way to cut back and pay down the debt.

Did you continue the story somewhere? I can not find it, and your answer was almost two years ago.
Rachel Walker
I’m wondering the same thing 🙂

Thanks for the tip James.I think there’s a fine balance with Guest Posting – of course you want to make it as efficient as you can, but if you automate things like generating headlines and outreach emails you start to lose the human touch which is necessary to build long term relationships. Although there’s some graft at the beginning, I’ve definitely found that this long sighted approach results in guest posting goodness – people will happily post stuff for you with barely any persuasion. Just make sure you keep delivering great content.

[103] LOL – The article states:“According to a new DNA study, most humans have a little Neanderthal in them—at least 1 to 4 percent of a person’s genetic makeup.”and “What’s more, the Neanderthal-modern human mating apparently took place in the Middle East,”Anybody want to take a stab (or suicide bomb) at connecting the dots? I bet I know where you’ll find the most 4% Neanderthals, maybe even some 5 or 6 per-centers.

I am glad you liked these. I wonder why mine didn’t puff up like yours? I made 2 batches and neither puffed up THAT much. Which dissappointed me b/c when I make yeast breads I get all excited to see them get HUGE. But whatever, they still taste so good, which is really all I care about :).-= Julia´s last blog .. =-.

Thank you for sharing your story. As I was reading it, I grew stone cold and felt my heart beat hard. It’s because I was on a similar path. We never talked about it. He acted out with alcohol and gambling. Then we really had no money. It was horrible. His addictions then turned to women and he met his sugar mistress. We divorced and he married her. His sleazy lawyer believed all of his lies as we went through a horribly drawn-out divorce. I ended up with very little.
Since then, I went through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. I’m not debt free yet, nor have I saved my $500. But I’m learning to apply the steps, and I’m learning to make a plan for what I get. Little by little, I’m crawling out of the hole. I’m learning to wait and plan and wait some more. I’m denying myself a lot. I’m finding pleasure in small things, sunsets and sunrises. I am cooking more and spreading meals out for several days in varied dishes.
I’m growing and maturing. Most importantly, I’m maturing in my walk with God and truly letting go and letting God.
Someday, and of course I hope sooner than later, God will bring me a wonderful, godly man, who loves The Lord, and who practices Dave Ramsey’s principles.
I’m waiting for my Boaz.
Thank you again, for sharing your story. It’s comforting to know that others have walked a similar path and are overcomers. Praise be to God!!!
Blessings abundant!

At the moment, speaking of research, I can say that once it helped me significantly to defend my rights in court without any problems. Therefore, now let me tell you this handyman insurance may be suitable for you. So, in any case, you can also use the legal service. A lot of people should think about it more.
