    Default I Know I'm Not Supposed to Count My Chickens Before They're Hatched, But...

    ...I'm so excited!!!

    With DH's stakeholder cheque and income tax money coming in within the next couple months, we're going to have a full $1,000 EF, bought a bunk bed for our girls and paid off almost all of our debt!!!!! With more work and focus on our debt for the few months after that, we'll be able to say that we're debt free!

    At least that's the plan. I can't wait!
    An obstacle is what comes up when you lose sight of your goal.

    Keep at it and assume the worst. Don't forget that the TaxMan cometh for his share as well.

    Oh how I so wish. I had to set aside 50% of my "stock windfall" in case of what the tax man needs. I'll be discussing this with H&R block in a couple of weeks to verify that. Actually, I should see if I can talk to my partner's dad as he's an accountant..
