Well its time for the annual "check J's credit" fun. We've been working hard to improve it over the past year what with the upcoming merging of information. One reporting agency let me see it online, the other two I had to order. Its looking much better since a lot of things hit the statute of limitations now that J is 26 and a lot of his credit

Lane recently became intensely interested in becoming financially responsible adults, much to my surprise, and at first my chagrin. But we're really on a good path now, and if it weren't for this appendix-related mishap, we'd be in pretty good shape right now. I HIGHLY recommend Dave Ramsey's books (you can check them out from the library in book or audio CD form so you can listen to it on the go). Getting on his plan is the first time in my life I thought I might have a bright future with real financial security and not mountains of debt.

Now I watch him sit and think about it. Do I really need this? Will I still want it a week from now? Is there anything else I'd rather have instead? Can we afford it?

I think you guys are part of the reason I'm on the path to better finances. Your advice earlier this year has always stuck with me. Even though I just figured out I'm going to be in a mess of trouble with the government--and a mess of debt--it could be so much worse. Thank you so much for knocking some sense into me! Seriously, you guys could be role models. :D
