Confession Time

Here it is. It’s hard for me to say, but Justin and I have little to no savings! There. I said it. It’s out.

Isn’t that awful?!? This is something that has haunted me since the day we became man and wife. Of course at that time we  we’re just living! There was no extra to save, believe me.

But NOW, what is our excuse? We have none. We are just procrastinators and in the worst way. I feel like God wants us to be good stewards of our money and we have not been the greatest. Now granted, we our blessed because we also have very little debt outside our home and a vehicle, but still. I know that God has blessed us financially in this past year or so and we just need to get on it!

In the past month or so we have been talking with an AMAZING financial planner. If anyone needs one, hit him up! He has really been working with us to help us figure everything out. There is just so much information it’s hard for the “non-finance knowledgeable people” like us to do on our own.

Justin and I have a good balance when it comes to spending. He wants it and I tell him no! No, seriously, we really discuss almost every purchase. We try to be smart and frugal for the most part. We tithe and give to the church regularly.  And I know  we shouldn’t rely on our own resources, but I know  that God is pushing us to plan for the future.

So, we are one step further…. we have a REAL savings account now! Woo Hoo, let me hear ya holla! Anyone else have this issue or is it just the Edge family? I’m sort of afraid to hear this response…
