Budgeting

For some strange reason, many people dread this particular B word.  But budgeting doesn't have to be scary, overwhelming or difficult. Budgets are so vital to creating financial peace and security, and when exercised properly, have the ability to help you achieve some pretty big goals and dreams. By being mindful of our money and having a reasonable budget, we've been able to pay off debt, save for retirement, pay cash for Jason's truck, travel, remodel our home, build an emergency fund and we are even on track to pay off our 30 year mortgage in under 20 years.
