Good resources for frugal finances

Top 9 Good Habits for a Recession This is just a good article, with links to many other resources, including free financial planning software and a free excel spreadsheet to plan out a debt snowball.

12 Steps to a Prosperous New Year is also a great resource, linking 12 different articles, one for each of the 12 days of Christmas. The end of the year is a great time to plan out your goals for the new year and get your finances in order.

Jeremy and I are doing that this weekend (hopefully) and I can't wait. It makes me feel so much better when I know we are on a plan and that we are moving forward towards whatever goal we decide to set. This year it will be being debt free by the end of the year, with a good emergency account saved up, as well as saving something for a down payment on a house. (Those things might actually be affordable by the time we're ready to buy one!)
