Scared

I'm scared, and I wanted to admit it. I am about to create a budget/financial plan for my family. I am using Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" to assist me, although I have not read very far into the book yet. We have two new bills starting and they aren't just chunk change. We have Noah's preschool tuition and Curt's college tuition plus our rent DOUBLED at the beginning of the month. I am an avid reader but I cannot read this book fast enough so I am skipping to the end and doing the charts first and I will continue to read the book as I have time. What am I really afraid of? Well, that's a loaded question. I'm afraid that with the rent thing and these new bills we won't be able to make it financially let alone actually work on getting out of debt. I'm afraid of what the numbers will tell me. Because numbers don't lie, do they? Yikes! Its high time we got rid of our financial flabbiness. We're probably more than flabby financially, actually. We're probably financially obese. Ok. I'm going to stop procrastinating and plug those numbers into the chart!
