Brian and I sat down last night and discussed our finances over three hours. We have a joint checking account now, and we set up a BUDGET!

Once this wedding is over with and have our emergency fund set up, we are expecting to be out of debt within 2 years. Including my horrible student loan. AGH!

We are doing it the Dave Ramsey way. I know there will be some tweaking here and there and some people may think we are weird, but I am determined to be out of debt by the beginning of 2010. We shall see.
