About Me

I graduated with a Finance degree and worked for a major mutual fund company handling group retirement plans. Now I blog and run a household!

I'm the wife of a full time Army Reserve Captain and SAHM to daughters ages 12 and 9. I'm 37 and DH is 40.

We started our marriage 13 years ago with over $10K in credit card debt from a failed business venture. We paid it off as quick as we could with the goal of purchasing our first home. We did this within 15 months of getting married. Now it is time to watch us pay off our home equity loan!!

It's Under $2

Yep, tonight while driving the DD to dance class, we saw gasoline stations advertising gas for $1.99. It was $2.05 this afternoon.

I wonder what it will do tomorrow?

Oh, you want to know where I am?

Iowa. Fields of Opportunities.

Yes I filled up my suv for $18! I had a gas discount from the grocery store.....it was so nice. I think it is great to see gas prices falling--- but many other areas in our country are terrible. We are not out of the woods yet. How is weather in Iowa?? It is pretty cold here in Ohio. Thank you for your husbands service for our country. God Bless.

I filled my gas tank up for $49 the other day, and I was paying $90 in July! I did a little happy dance right there in the parking lot. In Wichita, we are $2.09 today.

Front Porch Mom...just had our first hard freeze here today. The furnace is really running! As for my husband's service, you are more than welcome! We appreciate your gratitude, too.

cptacek...I love that you did the happy dance in the parking lot! Makes me smile. Just think if we all did that when we got a great deal!!
