being careful with money is tricky. joel actually told me this summer that he imagines money to be the thing in our future that will cause us the most disagreements. at this point, we're in great financial shape, so disagreements rarely surface. we both have jobs but we're basically living on one salary. we're taking grad classes. both our cars are paid for. we have incredibly generous families. we both feel called to give regularly to our church and to causes that are important to us. yet paying bills and writing checks don't really bring me much stress.
on the other hand, we're regularly thinking/talking about the future. about kids. about having only one of us working. about further education. about changing homes and/or location.
and sometimes that scares me. to consider major lifestyle changes, based around money. though, i guess that's the wrong way to look at it.... none of our future decisions or plans will be made completely because of money.

I saw this article, too, and loved it! Definitely found it encouraging as well!
P.S. I've been a blog stalker for a while, but I guess now the secret's out! :)
