And now for the Revolution

Ever had had one of those moments when you hear something that makes so much sense and you know it's the right thing to do and you would be so much happier if you did it but oh God please don't make this the thing that I have to do to be happy because it looks like I am going to have to change and that would be really hard and I really want life to be easy even if living like I do now is going to make life harder in the long run it would be easier right now if I didn't do it til later blah blah blah
Yeah, we're doing the Dave Ramsey Fiancial Peace University classes at church on Sunday evenings.
Okay, that's a little dramatic. But hopefully the change will be dramatic. The ideas behind his plan are very sound. Pay off your debt, have money in savings, prepare for retirement and retire with dignity. Maybe change your family tree. Isn't that the point anyway?
We've been to one class so far and I really like what he's saying. It's just so different from the way we've been living that it seems uncomfortable, outside of our comfort zone.
But any big change does make you feel that way. I really don't think it's going to be that hard. We really don't have like a buttload of debt. We're already cutting back on expenses.(see previous post)
But it still seems like a really big deal. It will take discipline and patience, two things I lack. Maybe it will help in those areas too.
Something I worry about, too, is what kind of example Jonna and I are setting for Kate. I hope to share what we learn with her because we haven't been the best examples of stewardship.
Jonna and I have decided to make this our financial plan. All prayers are greatly appreciated.
And that's all I have to say about that. Again, updates as events warrant.
