Money Saved and Debt Paid - 6 Week Totals

The numbers are in. Not 100% accurate, but in none the less.

Through 6 weeks the class has paid $18,276 in debt and saved $31,060

Not bad since we have yet to even complete our first full month of "living like no one else."


These numbers will grow dramatically as you grow dramatically. I told the class this last night but I think it is worth repeating.

If you are embarassed by the numbers you wrote down, or you left your card blank, (there were several of you), then I challenge you to do something about it. It's time to start living like no one else so you can start winning. Don't quit. Don't lose hope and become Practice the goat. If it bothers you that you are not saving and paying off like you want, then get mad and do something. Have a yard sale. Start eating beans and rice for dinner. Cancel your cable. Sell something. Feeling sorry for yourself won't get it done. If you need help or encouragement, then call me. Go Get Gazelle Intense!

Until I stuck to my monthly budget, I really wasn't sure where my $$ were going. They were just gone at the end of every month. Now I know. After taking FPU and sticking it out with my budget, now I can see how I can give up a few clothes to get something else I really want. FPU also helped me break my shopping addiction. When I think about shopping, I look for something else to do. It's working so far and my one credit card left is getting paid off every month.
Yeah! When I go (if I go) to Macy's, etc, I check on how much cash I can actually spend there and I'm much pickier about what I buy. Shop like a Cheetah!
