We are Gazelle!

Clint and I recently read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. We've changed the way we budget and the way we are spending our money. We're working hard to pay off our house as soon as possible. When Emery asks for a toy at the store or to go out to eat, we remind him that we are trying to "outrun debt" wherever possible. Dave calls this being a gazelle.

I know it's working because yesterday Emery had a sheet of stickers. He had taken two of them off the sheet and put them on his shirt. A few minutes later he took the two stickers off his shirt and put them back on the sticker sheet. He said, "I don't need these. If I use them all today, they will be all gone, and that is not being Gazelle. And, mom, we're gazelle!"
