My accountability partner is my husband, but it nice to have my brother and his wife to keep us motivated. They totally respect us when we tell them we can't go out for dinner because we don't have any more in our eating out budget any given month. The rest of our family doesn't think that way, so it's wonderful! Now that we budget, we can't imagine not. It has been SUCH a stress reliever!!!!
Your guys are the ones who rock! My husband & I take turns on being the mean one. It seems we go in shifts of the one that wants it more than the other. Would love some more motivational hints, tips and secrets from you too!
Keep up the great work! Sending prayers and hugs your way. BJ
Hubby and I always hold each other accountable. If there is a purchase over $50 besides our regular bills (food, gas, etc) we always respect each other and talk about the purchase first! We have been doing this for almost 30 years. Everything we do in life effects someone else! :) Love the videos! And where do you teach your class?
@DeadEyeHR2011 "Everything we do in life affects someone else!" I LOVE THAT! Hmmmm, may be the secret to a lasting and loving marriage? :) We teach FPU at our church.
My husband and I do a pretty good job of keeping each other accountable. Though it might be fun to have someone else to slap my hand every now and then...... maybe not.
My hubby...cheap cheap cheap. He thinks women need nothing more than a roof over their head...what about clothes, hair, makeup, exercise equip...I could go on...should I? And we all know that the list I just shared is NEEDS and not WANTS right?! No?....sure?...well then I guess he is a pretty good accountability buddy-Darn.
So fun, thanks! Our accountability buddies are each other!!! I will message you my mailing address through your personal FB page, but since you sent me a Christmas card I'm sure you already have it. Thanks so much again, so excited!!!
I have a few....I think it helps me more to have more than just my husband...a few more people to bounce my ideas off of and keep me on track. My husband is the Biggest one. But also my mom and my Father in law. I don't think I would have been able to loose 120 pounds in one year if I didn't have them to lean on. Same goes with getting and STAYING out of debt. I need everyone to tell me when I might be getting *off* track.
@momitude 120 POUNDS?!?! That is insane my friend! CONGRATS! Funny how much weight loss and debt have in common isn't it? Just a fun fact...my hubby and I both lost 70 pounds and 50k in debt in 2010! Life is forever changed! Cheers to supportive parents too!
This video was pretty funny. I love when you keep it real...LOL My hubby is my partner in so many things. I don't think we hurt each others feelings...hmmmm. well something to strive for...:) I guess when you are workin' the budget as long as you guys have been you know what needs to be done to make it happen. I'm gonna go hurt my hubby's feelings now... Merry Christmas...Just kidding. :)

I think I will stick to my boyfriend/husband. We both have our weeknesses but they are different so we can help each other through the rough times.
