A Young Wife’s Tale

This dry erase board has solved a lot of problems for David and me. We keep to do lists, appointments and even a list of meals for the week on this dry erase board. It was cheap. I got it at Target. I put our bills in green on the day they are due. We slash through them once they’ve been paid.

As I was doing our taxes this year, I tallied up all of our medical expenses for 2009. We spent $12,000. And we didn’t even have any surgeries or hospitalizations.

Suffice it to say, we’ve never been able to go beyond an emergency fund to a savings account with three months of living expenses. Sorry Suze.
