Life shouldn't be printed on dollars bills...

Like that?! It has made my list of quotes to live by! So as some of you know New Years just came and went and most of us make resolutions,something that we want to accomplish this year! Well mine was I was to get a hold of our finances. I want too look back this year and not, Wow Markus we did pretty well! But be super confused why we have nothing to show for it:) I want to look back and be proud of where we are and have something to show for hard work! I am not talking about material items like fancy computers and a closet full of designer clothes! No I am talking about financial back up plans, just in case accounts and maybe even a vacation fund so in 5 years when the kids are older we can take them on a Disney World Adventure! I want to be financially organized! I would like to see where our money goes each month. I have a plan and even though it has taken me a while to figure this out I have finally comes to my senses. Money does not grow on tress and it does run out. You just have to realize that you don't need a $5.00 Starbucks drink EVERYDAY! My mother in law got me a Suze Orman Financial Organizer and I have download a few books on my Nook! This year really upset me, we were very fortunate to actually do pretty well for ourselves, well Markus did LOL and we aren't where we should be. Anyway, We are ready to do this. 2011 watch out! ;)
