The Goal

Hello!
This is officially my first attempt at blogging. I'm a new stay-at-home mom with a three month old daughter. Once my husband and I decided I'd be quitting my job to stay at home full-time, we had some changes to make as we learned to live on one income. So far, I've been learning a lot, and we've been doing ok.

Until last week...

We only have one car, and it's paid off. While hoping that it would last another couple of years, reality hit and it completely died last week, leaving me stranded on the side of the road. Since we've already rebuilt the engine once, I don't think it's going to last as long as we hoped.

Hence, The Goal.

Thankfully, God has provided us with a car for the next four months (a friend who is out of the country is letting us drive his). During that time, it is our goal to save enough to pay cash for a reliable car. The purpose of this blog is to track how we're doing at achieving our Goal, and for me as I learn new ways of saving money, living simply, and being satisfied with a life of less.

Any tips or advice as we begin this challenge? Let's see how the next four months progress!
