It’s been over 3 years now that we’ve been blogging about personal finance, though we did take a year and a half off and have switched domain names all together, yet we’re still learning. We’re still making mistakes. We’re still growing together financially as a couple and as individuals.
Personal finance isn’t something that you just get. It’s something that takes practice. The difference between then and now, is that when we make a mistake — we catch it more quickly and can more easily recover — instead of digging ourselves into a financial hole.
When we look back on the past year financially we can definitely see some mistakes, but we see more good than bad and that has changed dramatically since April of 2006 when we first decided to pull ourselves up and get going in the right direction.
Our financial process has changed dramatically. We’ve gone from no budget to a complicated budget. From that complicated budget to something much more simplistic. It’s an evolutionary process that will settle down at some point, but for now we’re still a little crazy.
