I am a 30 something year old mom to 4 wonderful children. I am married to a fabulous man since 2005. I started out my adult life rough then had the comfort of being a stay at home mom for several years and now we are back to living a really tight life. I am just trying to keep my head up every day and make sure that we have our basic needs met while trying to keep a few of our wants met too.
At the moment we have about $31,000 in debt from credit cards and vehicle payments that we are going to work at getting rid of so that we can buy a house. We would really love to have a mini farm but for now a house where we can have a decent garden and a few chickens is our goal.
I am a Hairstylist by trade. I have been licensed since 1999. I worked for 6.5 years in a salon before I was put on bed rest with my second child. We decided that I would be a stay at home mom for a while after that. It made the most sense to stay home since at the time my husband was in the military and deploying. I was at home until August 2013 because my husband got kicked out of the military. I am now working again and my husband is going to school full time to change careers. He is able to go to school for free because of the GI Bill that he earned while being in the military.
We believe that even though we are poor and things may be tight at times we should try to live and enjoy all of life. We have a fabulous family , a roof over our heads, and food in our bellies. We are truly blessed.
I will discuss things on this blog about how we are doing paying off our debt and the process of buying a house. I will share ways that we save money while still getting things we want or need. I will share deals that I find to help with budgets as well.
