It is right! that is the amount of money in my various savings accounts! I am just in awe. Of course, $300 of that is in the vacation fund, so it will be coming back out. And eventually, I will have to transfer most of it into my checking account(have one large bill to pay). But WOW! I can't beleive that I have managed to save that much! I have never in my life had that much money saved. And none of it came from my tax refund! This is all money that I truly saved...little by little!
I am so proud of me!
$969...Can that be right?

I have never commented on a blog before and I came across yours by accident earlier this week. I have read all of your entries and I just want to say "Way to Go"! I too am from North Georgia, although I live in the western part of the state. I feel as if we have so much in common. A lot of the struggles that you have described, I have gone through also. I too am making progress and I also have a savings account for the first time in my life. You have been a great inspiration and it's awesome to see you make such progress in a relatively short period of time. I will definitly continue to read your blog.

Kat, I am glad you have gotten inspiration from my posts. I can tell you that the only thing that has changed in my situation is the fact that I am keeping this blog. It has inspired me to watch my savings grow. I am not making any more money, just keeping better track of where it goes(and where it doesn't need to go!) I have discovered a few tricks along the way. I am by no means through with my financial journey...still learning. But I am happy to share what I have learned so far!
