I downloaded YNAB as well, but have not found to be that useful to myself. Mostly, I made a spreadsheet on excel and that helped me keep track of my finances better. But most of all, I'm trying to just cut spending. My life does not need the clutter that spending ends up providing me, and my body also doesn't need all those lattes and sweets. So really, it's a win-win situation to just leave the credit card at home and triple think everything before you buy.

I mostly agree with making sure that you watch it. I think that's my #1. Strong work – -you guys are doing great! 🙂

I liked the "no spend February". We need to try that one of these months. And thanks for the reminder to check in on the budget–we often forget to do that, but it's so much more helpful if we do it on a weekly basis. It must feel SO GOOD for you to have paid down so much debt in the last 18 months–you go girl!! Good job!!!
