A Little Christmas Link Love
We’ve never publically offered any link love. This has primarily been because we were too new, and no one read our blog. So, I’m going to steal a page from Boston Gal’s Open Wallet and open up the forum for a little link love from We’re In Debt. Just throw us a comment, on this post and we...

Meme: 5 Things About Us That Are Not Common Knowledge
I hate chocolate. I once lived in Arizona for a few months to get away from it all. I am from NC originally. I was once mugged by drag queens in New Orleans. When I was a kid, we lived next door to James Best, aka Roscoe P. Coltrane from the Dukes of Hazzard. The Queen of Debt secretly l...

Day 218: Make Sure That Your Budget Includes a Little Extra For Yourself
When you’re married, finances are typically the number one cause of stress. There’s a constant tug of war that occurs between the two of you. One will want pizza one night, while the other attempts to remain strong, and stick to a budget. This is tough at times, because everyone has bad days ...

Day 217: It’s Bill Pay Time
It’s the middle of the month, and that means that it is time to payoff some debt. I spent the evening planning everything and the bills are all in line to get paid. Once the credit card companies have posted all the payments in the next few days, we’ll update the old progress bar in the upper le...

Day 214: Look Out for Free Things to Do
One thing that the Queen of Debt and myself are horrible at, is finding free things to do in Boston. It’s not that information is posted, it’s just a matter of us looking for it. Today we journeyed over to the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, because we had seen that it was free to ge...

Day 205: Focus On One Thing At a Time to Eliminate Your Debt
We have a hard time focusing in on one thing. We’re both somewhat impatient when it comes to stuff and we often find ourselves changing up on a wim. This is definitely something that we both need to work on. When you are eliminating your debt, you can’t multitask. You should focus in on one t...

Money Moves For 2007
CNN Money has a list of money moves to make during 2007. Glaringly left off the list is, get out of debt. They probably weren’t targeting the debt laden American public, but it would seem to me that any listing of smart money moves, should start with payoff debt. One item on the list is to st...

Ecost.com Conundrum
It’s official, our charge has been reversed and we still have the laptop. If you don’t know what I am talking about, you’d better start here, then go here and end up here. So here’s my dilemna… I have shipped this laptop to Ecost.com, without an RA number and they have refused it. N...
