A New Year ~ A New Journey

It was the beginning of last year, give or take, that I started researching ways to save more money. The budget was tight, and Christmas of course made money tighter. I have come across some wonderful blogs, ideas, and of course met some wonderful people along the way. The journey to saving money is not always easy, it most definitely takes a good amount of time, and even a bit of knowledge. We have come a long way since then, and were presented with a few bumps in the road, however, we made it through the year!

The new year presents to us a new beginning, to take what we learned last year and add to that new knowledge and goals for the year ahead. I am excited to get back into the game of things and come out at the end smarter and more savvy with our money!

My first goal of the year was started yesterday: no more eating out for the rest of this month. We opted for Quizno's last night rather than our typical New Year's dinner at Sizzlers so that we could stay home and watch something on the DVR. That was our ONE gimme for the month, we have a whole month to go now, wish us luck!
