Sept 1 marks a new beginning for us and to gear up last night I made what I call a "Ramsey Wallet". Today is our first day to use the Financial Peace University's all cash budget. We pride ourselves that we only "owe" on our house and sunny's truck, but we really hope that this program will help us stop the leaks.
Not in our plumbing...but our wallets...primarily through the use of the dreaded debit card. I resisted up until Sunny and I got married, but at the time it just seemed easier to use. What is was a curse...the frustration of trying to keep up with receipts and keeping track of each other's spending.
So now it is cash for us, except for the gasoline...I am NOT dragging a 3yr old and a newborn in every time I get gas...that will be debit card!
I have to add the snaps to close the wallet and for the polka dot pocket which will house my debit card, id and could hold a checkbook.
Of course I had to make dividers for the categories out of cardstock that I laminated.
Now the second part to this story is about the card that Brooke received from her great grandma oliver for her birthday. It is one of those singing cards that kids love and parents get stuck in their head and find themselves singing along.
The words are:
Think of all the joy you'll find,
when you leave the world behind,
and bid your cares goodbye,
you can fly, you can fly, you can fly!
Now sub the word BUY for fly as Brooke does...Dave may have come to late for Brooke!
