Saving Money

One of my new year's goals this year was to get my finances in order (well, more order) and keep looking at it with an eagle's eye. My wedding was spectacular and I don't regret it for the world but this year, the focus is now on debt service. When you devise a plan to really pay off your debts, to get that yoke off of you, two things happen. Work becomes serious business, and the promise of new opportunites looks golden. Yesterday, I dyed my own hair. It turned out great and waaaaay cheaper than the salon. I am cleaning out our house and giving things away to charity. I discovered mint.com. I'm thinking of refinancing my mortgage to a better rate. I'm really excited about a future with no more debt.
