The First 30 Days

30 day check-in on how our Financial Fast is going so far....

    Changes to monthly bills:
Sold the RV (had a meltdown first, but now I'm over it!)  =  $207
Discontinued one of our expensive, non-cashable, and essentially useless life insurances = $25
Paid off appliance credit card = $50
Saved on groceries = $120 (all the credit to my amazing hubby on this one!)
Stopped cable = $45
Total monthly savings = (drum roll.....)  $447!!!

    Debt paid off:
RV loan = $8600
Appliance store credit card = $780
Emergency credit card = $235
Total debt paid = $9615!!!  (holy bleep!)

   Still yet to come
Decreased auto insurance without RV
Stopping cat insurance
Stopping dog insurance

Disclaimer:  we were not perfect this first 30 days.  And we are only able to do this through the grace of God and his mercy on our past failures.  And I prayed about whether to include actual dollar amounts, as I don't want anyone to attach their own opinion (good or bad) to the amounts. 

But I'm still going to revel in our awesomeness for one night!
