Happy Birthday to this wild thing. One whole year

Happy Birthday to this wild thing. One whole year older, a little bit taller, not a bit less sassy 🤣

Cinco de Tillie is here!

Well, there goes Q1 2021 😳 that was fast. Here

Well, there goes Q1 2021 😳 that was fast.

Here's the numbers for debt paid off in the month of March 2021. This counts the amount of principal payments made each month. It definitely feels like we've picked up some steam.

If we keep this pace we have about 2 1/2 years until everything is done. But depending on how life flows we might go faster, might go slower. Either way is fine.

For a while it felt like a race to the end and I was constantly frustrated we weren't moving faster. Now I'm just settled in for consistency and reasonable goals. Anything on top of that is just whipped cream and sprinkles 😉🍨🍧

Cheers to all folks setting some goals and knocking them down. Slow goals, fast goals, doesn't matter! You're awesome!

February 2021 debt update!

This is where I calculate how much we put towards the principal of outstanding debt balances during the month. Right now we are mostly working through student loans and a car payment. The rest of the stuff has been tackled 🎉

There was no Amazon shopping this month and I am so proud of me!!!! Nic, did not include himself in the Amazon experiment, which was totally fine 😁. We definitely figured out through this process who has an Amazon problem and who doesn't. She has two thumbs and is me 😂

Next month is gonna be awesome. I'm definitely going to try another month long challenge, I'm not sure yet what, but it will be freaking amazing.

What things are y'all up to?

I'm taking an Amazon break this month and so far,

I'm taking an Amazon break this month and so far, so good!!!

I think Amazon can be an awesome thing, but when it's the first and only place you search it can just take over. Their marketing is powerful and effective, and we're only human.

I've also been working hard to meditate each morning and help my brain breathe. I didn't intentionally start that practice to coincide with no Amazon month but, it did. Crazily, it's taught me a LOT about my spending habits and how bringing calm and peace to my brain results in much better spending decisions. Go figure.

Are you working on any new skills this month? I wish you luck if you are!
