My family is on the same path that you are, just haven't reached that level yet. We're doing Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover and we are still on the debt snowball. About some of your goals....we've been using cloth diapers for over four years now and we love it. We've also cut out paper napkins and paper towels and its worked great so far! Great goals.

I never thought to use my Swagbucks for gifts--what a great idea! My husband gets a raise in July and we are also going to keep trucking like usual. I can't wait for the day that we live on half of our income--what a great accomplishment for you to be so close to your goal. I love reading how you are doing on your goals.

I totally spaced on the name but I think it's called The Total Money Makeover. Anyway, the chapter I am reading is talking about credit and debit cards. He pretty much said the same thing you did! He said he spent more using credit cards. I know that I am always more careful if I have cash than if I have my debit card! I just borrowed Dave Ramseys book from the library.

I hope to get to that point one day. You should give cloth diapers a try! They are so simple and will save you lots of money, especially if you do prefolds and covers.

I did my budget update today too. I was wondering if you had a place where you could search old blog posts. I was looking for a banana bread recipe, and since I have loved everything I've tried from your website, I was looking for yours. :) Hi, thanks for the advice! I did my budget update today too.
