#1: Save up three months of your salary for emergencies. #2: Only use your credit card when you are able to afford to pay it off each month. #3: Full Price is for Suckers! (Always shop around before making any purchases).

Dave Ramsey and his financial principles got us out of debt, helped us be healthier maritally, physically, and spiritually and I highly recommend his resources for winning today and leaving a legacy of victory for our family!

As a couple set a budget on only one of your incomes. If you can't pay for it on the one persons income then you probably don't really need it. Then if something happens and one of you can't work, you know you can make it. Put the money the other one makes in savings, invest towards retirement, and pay things off early.

Automatically have $ taken out each pay for savings and retirement. Gradually increasing the amount over time; you don't miss it and it has a chance to grow.
