Welcome to Medium Sized Family!

Hi!  I’m Jamie, and my hubby and I know just how it feels to raise a medium sized family (that’s six kids for the curious) on one income in a rotten economy.

(Yeah, I know most people would call that a large family.)

(Why did I name this blog “medium sized family” then?  Well, so far no one has offered us a reality show, so I assume we aren’t really all that large.)

(Aww, thanks for the offer!  But I asked the family and all I got in return were a bunch of grunts, so I guess we don’t really want our own reality show after all.)

Here are some things you might actually be interested in:

How we paid off over $20,000 in credit card debt using the motto #yearofno. (More fun than it sounds.)

You’ll definitely want to print a copy of this money saving chart that has helped tons of people save money in their real, messy lives. (Often duplicated, but invented right here!)

See how we finally saved up enough money for a down payment to add a second bathroom to our home. (That’s right… 8 people, one bathroom. Not fun, but apparently doable.)

And here you can see the latest thing we’re up to.  (Probably a 5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week if I had to guess.)

I believe that you can build your savings,

even when life is frustrating.

I’ve been following your journey for over a year and I wanted to say CONGRATS!!! You were so honest and real it took a lot of courage to be so truthful. I am excited to see what’s next…

This came at a great time for me too! Partly for money but also just because I’m feeling like life is so hard and I feel like I’m failing at everything. but I can take one more step, that I can do!  Thank you!

Just want you to know that I am on my 5th debt sheet for the year and it is only the 4th month. So I am paying off debt like wildfire.
