I love saving money but to be honest it has taken us some time to get here. Many years ago we started to get our finances in order since we were in debt, but since then we discovered many great ways to save and getting things free, so our debt became a blessing in disguise sort of speak.
Finding ways to pay off our debt has opened doors we didn’t know about like getting things free to travel. Today I want to share that saving a little each week can truly add up to big savings, in fact just saving less than $400 a month can help you reach $5000 in a year.
I realized we all have different goals, needs and a budget for that reason I want to include 3 different options (printables). These can work best to fit your goals. Dave Ramsey’s first Baby step was to set aside an emergency fund of $1000, this printable can help you get there too.
