Finance Date Night recap + reserve tickets for the next one!
Ok guys, I have to be honest with you. I was a little nervous about our first Finance Date Night.

How to pay off credit card debt – reader Q&A
It’s technically still Monday as I write this, so I guess it still works as Q&A Monday right?? (Can you tell I’m a boundary-pusher?)

3.5 years ago we hardly had money to pay our bills. We had $10,000 debt on just one credit card. I was a new SAHMom and Bubba had a new business & wasn’t bringing home much of a paycheck. We looked at each other and decided we wanted a better life for ourselves; for our
