[jamethiel]

I start early because I am early! It's the end of the week! Let Joy and Celebration be unconfined!

Come and tell me--what progress have you made towards your goals this week? Finances OR frugal living, or even buying something that you've saved up towards!

Hn, one step forward one step back for me? I somehow managed to botch the bills last pay and had one payment not go out. I don't know how, I thought I had enough in the account for it but I must have missed something.

BUT partly because of that and partly because of trying to pull our finances under control I've gotten better at bills & have a list of our finances on the fridge.

And unrelated but another finance hopefully soon to be good: I called to take our finance company off our insurance since we'd paid our car off about 5 or 6 months ago. I found out they are charging us a premium based on our purchase price (used but about 5 or 6 years ago) and I can call our old dealer & get info on the current market value and have our premiums dropped! This would be good. They also sent a brochure so I can go through all our stuff and see if the level that we are insured at is right for us (if not...another drop in premium).

Baby steps! Even if you make mistakes, if you learn from them it's all good! And here's hoping the insurance company drops your premiums!

That's true. And I'm trying to work on keeping better track of our bills without having to do them every day so I think my recent idea of keeping a paper with our limits & available balances as well as where we are at in our account might help.
