One day to New Year’s.  Christmas behind us, relatives departed, and we’ve got $7.00 in the bank.
 
Happy New Year, and welcome 2011. 

The past year, although personally fulfilling, has been a financial nightmare.  We’ve had major car repairs, unexpected appliance repairs and replacement, and over $2400 in out-of-pocket medical expenses. No raises, no bonuses, and no longer any 401K match.

2011 has got to be better!
