Last month Jeremiah and I took the Good $ense Budget Course.  This was the first time that a Good $ense class was offered at E-Free that I could attend and I’m so glad that we got to go.  It was just 2 hours for three Thursday nights.  We talked about everything – giving, savings, debt, spending, different types of budgets, buying a home, etc.

We felt like we were most impacted by the topics of debt and savings.  The class presented some great thoughts about these two areas as well as practical “how-to’s.”  So, we’re very excited to be making large steps of progress in getting out of consumer debt while still being able to put some aside in savings.  And for the next few months we’ll be trying out a written down spending plan, rather than the envelope system or something on the computer.  We think that it will be better for us to have to manually write it down and have it somewhere that both of us can can easy get to it.

This class was just right for us – felt very low pressure and all the scripture that was used was very appropriate and eye opening.  It had a great balance of looking practically at finances as well as discussing what life application this all has.  We also had the chance to get down to the heart issues that money can bring to the surface.

I’m so glad that we got to take this class!  And I’m even more glad that I can cross it off the list.
