Well, this is my first post, and I don’t even know how to blog. Lucky I don’t have any readers yet! I am going to spend the first few days just figuring out WordPress (the system that supports this blog), and then hopefully I will have something valid to say. This is going to be a personal finance blog that allows an outlet to my stresses and thoughts about our family’s debt. Another thing to add is that I am Australian, so if my spelling seems a bit off to some readers (hah!), that may be why.
Who am I?
I'm a 30yo first-year health professional who has a wonderful husband and a gorgeous toddler in tow. We paid off $27,000 in credit card, car loan and family debt in 1 year and 5 days, and are now DEBT FREE! Come along for the ride as we switch our focus to building emergency savings and a home deposit!Emergency fund
