My husband’s company usually gives a hefty annual bonus to employees (several thousand dollars); 2007 wasn’t the best year for the company so we weren’t expecting a bonus.  Well the company felt bad so we ended up with a small bonus - $340.50 after tax.  Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth we were thankful.  The money hit the checking account today and I just got done paying $340.50 on my Venetian Card.  I tell ya, it feels good to know that I’m really making a positive change in our lives.

Dave Ramsey comments about people changing the family tree from the roots on up.  That is what I’m doing.  Well my sister isn’t a spendy gal, she’s actually a tightwad.  Looks like I got all the spending genes in our family hehe.
