Oh Me! Oh My! At the beginning of the year we always have some killer bills come our way and to add insult to injury it is also tax time. Mr. Man is a owner/operator (from here on out known as O/O) so taxes are crazy expensive. While we save for that all year we had some major expenses this past year toward the end of the year that put us in a tough spot on the amount needed to pay these killer bills.
In July my baby boy proposed to his then girlfriend, Mr. Man and I footed the bill for the wedding. During the crazy, mad wedding rush for their set date in September, Mr. Man calls me to inform me that he was going through a mad thunderstorm and that the truck had just been struck by lightning, all of his panels were going crazy or they were gone completely. That put him out of the truck for two weeks. (Wheels not moving means no money but HUGE ballin' amounts going out.) Multiple little things happened but when you compound them they are not so little.
All of that brings us to where we are now. Not enough in the fund to take care of our beginning of the year bills or taxes. So I am imposing a spending freeze on myself and cutting my beauty budget from $100 to $25. AH HA a challenge! I know it will be tough but I am sure I can do it. After we get what we need for this major outlay I will re-evaluate and increase it MAYBE. I also know that Mr. Man and I have a goal to be debt free in three years, that thought crosses my mind as well. Anyway, wish me luck... hmmm do I feel a YouTube video series coming on? Maybe I do ;)
Some of you may be asking what this has to do with being fabulous. Being debt free is going to be fabulous!
