Saving EVERYWHERE

A few years ago, my husband & I took Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University at a local church. Dave said something that will be stuck in my head forever: "If you'll live like no one else, later you can live like no one else." So, here we are living like no one else, so that maybe that day will come :)
