Dh and I have been trying hard to cut unnecessary spending (even before FTJ) and now waste anything. Well usually by mid month our bank account is practically empty. I got our bank statement today (which I usually hate, no I never balance the checkbook) and was I suprised!!! We still have over 3grand in there and tomorrow is payday!! This may not sound like much to some of you, but some of you are with me and realize what a wonderful feeling this is!!! It is truly amazing what you can do by cutting little piddly spending

I am very happy for you. However, I found it a little funny that you call a balance like that "cutting little piddly spending". What ever you are doing keep it up!! Hopefully someday soon I can have a balance like that too!!
