I just wanted to go on record.
All the bills that were due in December and the first two weeks of January are paid. A little late or (gasp!) early. It's been a while-boy it sucks being a grown up.
Anyway- We are officially putting on our grown-up panties and doing it right. And it feels good. It sucks, but it feels good.
Three big payments left to make this month, with 4 more checks to go this month. We may even be able to save a few dollars. What a concept. We are trying to teach our children that idea. I purchased an incredibly cute piggy bank at the new Ikea and we are putting any loose change we find or receive as change into the piggy. They finding random change, which is all over my house for some strange reason, and running back to the pig and feeding him. When it is full we are going to roll it up and put it in the bank to save for a family fun vacation. Not that the vacations we have planned to see family aren't fun, but the ones with rides are fun- just in a different way. If I can earn enough frequent flier miles and with our loose change savings plan, we might be able to see Disney World before the kids leave for college. But heh, it's a goal, right?

My kids got a piggy bank for Christmas. The problem is that it is easy to open and they immediately take out whatever they put in. Just like their parents, I'm afraid.
Hey, I didn't say we were perfect. We are just giving it a go, see what happens.
