It was interesting to compare the scenarios from 2005 and today. Cars and boats have come and gone, we added a cabin to our list and extensively remodeled our main home (all sweat equity). 

We've also added many work hours as I got a new job (CEO of a Governmental Agency) and continue to teach college classes and R added more coaching and some college teaching to his list as well. In general, we've sacrificed a lot of work to make the financial gains we have but I'd say they've been worth it. 

Now, we're off to see what 2010 brings!  We're facing pay cuts at both jobs as the economy is hitting states very hard and both of us are employed in state jobs (education) and our side jobs are also seeing the impact of the economy (as sports are being cut and we work for private colleges on the side which are more expensive than state Universities, and thus, face declining enrollment).  We'll just work hard and trust that the Lord will again guide us toward our best path...and dumb luck will cover what He doesn't.

  1. Just found your blog through mommy blogs. I am right with you. I just wrote my post about our finances. Not as honest as you but still putting it out there. If you get a chance check it out I would love to hear your thoughts. http://thismamaworksit.com/2010/01/01/my-new-years-goals-skinny-jeans-and-a-fat-wallet/

  2. I enjoyed your perspective on Dave Ramsey's theories. I'm interested to see how your transformation progresses.
