I think I get more value from my money now. I don't waste my money on stuff I end up not using or needing. Thanks for the comment! @My Dollar Plan

It sure slowed down my spending, but in a good way. I think I get more value from my money now. I don’t waste my money on stuff I end up not using or needing. Thanks for the comment!

I agree that Total Money Makeover is an absolutely essential read if you are serious about managing your money and getting out of debt. @Ciaran - You should definitely give budgeting a try. The key is to keep it simple. If you make it too difficult then it becomes impossible to maintain. @Frugal Dad – Doing a budget definitely felt like getting a raise to me.

After reading your post, and a few of the others bloggers in TLSN I think I'm going to try setting up a budget soon. I've never had one so this will be an interesting experience. Nice post Jeff.

That's how I felt when I finally decided to get serious about telling my money where to go. And thanks for the Total Money Makeover review link - I think that book is a must read for anyone desiring to turn their lives around, financially.
