We decided not to stop the 401K contributions, as the extra is just eaten up in taxes, nor have we cut back on our 15% giving. I admire your ability to feed a family of 8 on that amount. We are not nearly so frugal there, but eat organic and whole foods which are considerably more expensive than processed. I am looking for ways to pare that down, and will continue to work on finding other areas to earn extra or save money. Your testimony is a great encouragement!

Slightly discouraging, but our tax refund is coming soon and we will use that to bring us back up to $1000 in the bank for the GOK fund (God Only Knows)! :) Congratulations on being debt-free. Did you guys call the Dave Ramsey show and scream "DEBT-FREE!" on air? My oldest son, age 5, can't wait to do that! He even asked my mom if she was "saving money so she can be debt-free like Dave Ramsey". How cute is that? My boys both beg to listen to the archives of the show or the CD's for Financial Peace University. We are training them YOUNG...lol! Blessings!
