I am always looking at where we spend our money. We spend a huge portion on housing. I realize that mortgages are something that I should be gracious for and in 13 more years we will have our house paid off. So I probably shouldn’t complain!

Since we are almost debt free with our credit cards this will be one of the first months that we will have that extra $1,000 or so to put towards our savings accounts. We depleted Shawna’s savings and retirement when we made the decision for her to stay home. So we’re really trying to play catch up.

A huge portion of my salary also goes towards insurance! Car insurance, life insurance, home insurance…together we pay about $400 per month just to be alive and to own a house and car!

In the past we’ve used secure loans as a means to help us out financially and I’m sure that if we decided to do work on the house or even remodel we’d more than likely go that route again.
