Strategy

Well, I have reverted back to an old strategy that I used to use many years ago when I agressively attacked my car loan. I have a set budget every week that we must adhere to, but when there are any differences- (for instance I budget $70/week each for gas)and we spend less, I spent 60.11 and Mr K spent 61.00, I take the difference and immediately slide it over to our debt. Sure it's only $18.89, but that's from one week- think how quickly that can add up. Even if it's only $10/week. It will make a difference of $430 before we move into our house. Every penny counts for us.

I adjusted our budget after we bought the house and it couldn't be tighter if we tried, unless we stop eating altogether. LOL We are in a precarious position as we have to meet certain goals by the time our house is built to acquire our mortgage.
