Giving this blog thing a whirl...

February 20th, 2007 at 09:54 pm

Hello!

I'm new to this site, but I'm really interested in personal finance and frugal living stuff.

My husband and I are doing alright financially, but there's always room for improvement!

The good:
-No student loans thanks to the Navy, scholarships, and nice parents
-No credit card debit.
-After being in the red for the first 5 months of marriage we are now in the black!
-Emergency Fund(s) with about 4 months worth of expenses.

The bad:
-Two car payments
-Future college payment/loans (I'll be starting pharmacy school soon)
-No retirement accounts

The ugly:
-Thankfully I can't think of anything to put here!!

Anyway, that's a little bit about me. I look forward to learning from you!

    Sounds like you guys are doing fairly well! If you really want to stay in the black though, I would suggest trying to get those cars paid off. Car payments can seriously drain a young couple starting out.

    So it sounds like you are playing great defense - little debt - but not much offense - little savings. EF is only the first step. Welcome, and I think you can find a lot of good advice here.
