extra stuff
Extra clutter, extra weight, extra bills, it's always something extra. About every 12-18 months I feel like I've got to clean it all out. Tackle the weight, tackle the budget, tackle the clutter. If I stayed on top of it, and take baby steps, I know I would get there. It's such a challenge for me because I want it all done now. I joined Weight Watchers and want to lose all the weight THIS WEEK. I signed up for Dave Ramsey's My Total Money Makeover and want to get out of debt, pay off the house and have our retirement fully funded THIS WEEK. I get e-mails hourly from FlyLady to stay on top of our housekeeping and want a perfect home THIS WEEK. I have a hard time with the baby steps and want immediate gratification. That's why I love the Bible verse so much "Steady plodding brings prosperity...". It's a favorite -- especially when it comes to finances. I know that taking baby steps and improving on what I'm doing each day will result in wonderful results.

I am huge fan of David Ramsey as well.. my husband and I read Total Money makeover shortly after we got married and ever since have been trying so hard to pay off our student loans and cars, and save for a big downpayment! Patience is one of the hardest things.. they do not call it a virtue for nothing! :)
