Rewards

[one more mile]

This may sound silly to some but it is a big deal to me. I was sick enough for two years that I had to use my credit cards to make ends meet. But now with the new energy of being Gluten free and the money I am saving from not binging I have been able to pay off the smallest of my credit cards, all this with a kid in college. I am so proud of me! I never thought that paying of a credit card would be a reward of being gluten free but it is!

Even though at first switching over to the diet was expensive, I am now spending less in the long run. Pulse I am able to once again work full time.

How have others lives improved? I love positive threads.

That is great feeling to have! Over two years ago my husband purchased The Total Money Makeover

by Dave Ramsey. We both read it from cover to cover and decided that we definately needed a "money makeover". We paid off our credit card, medical bills and sold our then two year old truck and bought an older used vehicle to get rid of a car payment. We paid down our home equity loan and when the mortgage rates fell we refinance the remaining balance with the regular mortgage. We were able to refinance for twenty years instead of thirty. We are now at the point that we are building our emergency fund. We did this prior to me being diagnosed, but had we not got ourselves on a budget and paying cash for everything, we would have struggled with the increased cost of me being gluten free. When the food budget increased we were able to absorb the extra cost without feeling overwhelmed. Keep up the good work! It is definately worth it. When you don't have to stress about money the rest of your life improves in ways I didn't even consider.
