"Those who structure their standard of living to allow a little surplus, control their circumstances. Those who spend a little more than they earn are controlled by their circumstances. They are in bondage”
President N. Eldon Tanner "Constancy Amid Change," Ensign, Nov. 1979, 81
As we are making an effort to really focus on our spending and get out of debt this quote really struck me. I realize that it could apply to many other things in life as well. If you happen to be looking to get yourself out of debt I would recommend Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover, check it out for yourself (you can probably find it at your local library as a way to start saving. :-) We are just getting started, but we are excited about our new adventure (the book is great too).

Good for you! Getting out of debt will be something you will never regret! I'll have to check out that book!
This is something we all need to do. You never know when live is going to throw you a curve ball. Our not being in debt & living frugally is the only thing getting us by right now. Hopefully the Real Estate market does something good or well life will be even more difficult. =)
