DH and I have decided to trim our budget and get out of debt, as well. Anyone here do the Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey? Also, anyone use a meal-planning service like e-meals? I figured meal planning is a part of losing weight, why not do it for a week or two at a time.

    we do a modified total money makeover. we used some of dave's idea and made a plan that has helped us get rid of some debt. its so nice seeing the debt go down a little each month.

    I have not done the Ramsey thing but have a friend who did and she is now almost completely debt free!

    LOVE Dave Ramsey!!!! He changed our lives 6 years ago. People still don't understand why we live in a smaller house than we could afford, but we just smile and say, guess who's not stressing about payments we can't afford right now? :) You will NEVER regret this! Best of luck!!!

    Yep! We're Dave Ramsey fans as well. We seen him live two years ago!! We're still working on baby step two. Hopefully, we'll be out of debt minus the house sometime late next year or beginning 2013. :bigsmile:

    We did e-mealz (the walmart plan) for a couple of months but it's not for us. I like to be in control of what we're eating. The menus are surprisingly good though! :smile:

    Thank you all for the responses. My husband is super picky about what he eats, and we all eat pretty healthy. I've been trying to eat way less processed stuff than I do, so emealz might work, or it might not. I love to cook, so I'm pretty good at tweaking recipes to fit our needs. I'll have to go over some of the choices with my husband to see what he thinks.

    Thanks again!
