Financial Shape in 2008 Challenge

As I did some last minute shopping before Christmas I was amazed as I watched other people around me. Looking in their shopping carts or baskets I wondered how long it might take them to pay off those items in 2008. I was reading a post on Money Saving Mom's blog a few days back. Crystal was sharing about her Financial Shape in 2008 Challenge:

"Would you like to live on less, pay off debt, and save more money this year? If so, join in the Financial Shape in 2008 Challenge - a year-long campaign to encourage families worldwide to live on less than they make and take personal responsibility for their finances.

The first area of the Financial Shape in 2008 Challenge is committing to get on a successful, workable budget.

If you've never successfully lived on a budget before, never fear, you can do it! Over the next few weeks, I'll be walking you through how to set up and implement a written game plan for your finances. This is something my husband and I committed to do before we were married and it was about the best decision we've ever made! It has saved us so much money, so much stress, and so much time."
