About Us

Hey! Our names are Shaina and Nate and we live in Wisconsin (but we can see Minnesota right across the river). We share our apartment with our goofy, lovable boxer named Mazi. I work in publishing and Nate is a corporate accountant.

We met online. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? I made a profile as a complete joke with my friends. I guess things happen when you least expect them. My username was boxerlover89 (because I'm obsessed with Mazi, as all of my friends can attest to). The first conversation we had was about boxers. So, we can thank the dog for all these crazy escapades we are about to embark on. We started dating December 2011, got engaged December 2012, and tied the knot October 5, 2013.

This blog is about working to pay down our debt (namely student loans) so that we are able to reach our life goals, as well as being newlyweds new to the process of managing our finances together. We are anxious to get started and excited to see where this journey takes us!
