How I Paid $8,500 of Debt in 5 Months (real numbers)

When I graduated college and knew I was moving, the thought of buying a car was daunting. However, instead of buying a $1000 beater car as Dave Ramsey suggests, I decided I would rather buy a new car. I would pay off the loan as quickly as I possibly, and then drive the car into the ground for the next 10 years. I'm a pretty simple girl, I got the most basic Honda Civic I could, mostly because...

Now, it's time for my budget to get serious. I am on a mission to pay off my car by the middle of June, and I am going full Dave...

I however, was pumped to start budgeting, yes, I’m a loser. The summer before my last semester of college I found Dave Ramsey, and I was hooked. However, Dave Ramsey would...

Limiting your already slim choices can seem like a pain, but being vegan is better for your body, the planet, and the animals. IT’S WORTH IT. That being said, here is how I survived...
