David and I sat down the other night and calculated how much money we each make each month and how much money we spend (just bills and food). We were pretty surprised how many bills we have. We weren’t really surprised, but food eats up a lot of our money, because we eat out a lot.

We’ve been trying to do better, but this really helped motivate us. We have a new plan to not spend as much and to get rid of these credit cards as quickly as we can. The one good thing about the credit cards is that we don’t use them anymore. We’re still paying them off, but we rarely charge anything on them, so if we get them paid off, we’ll be great!

I paid off two this past weekend and transferred some savings to pay off another small one.
