My Mission- Final Year

The Year of Frugal Living blog started in January 2008 as a year long challenge to pay off debt and gain a better understanding of what it means to be financially responsible. Over the course of the year, I not only paid off 18.4 percent of my debt, but I changed the way I think about spending, saving, and what is important in life. My plan of paying everything off in a year hasn't exactly worked out the way I wanted it to, but I continue to work hard every day to achieve my goals.
