Two steps forward... one step back
So we finally got our taxes done and low and behold... we got something back.
First time in years. We've always had to pay. But somehow my hubby's coworker found everything she could to get us something back this year. Yay!!!
With the return was able to pay off the hubby's small truck loan, the repairs for said truck, replace the EF that we had to dip into, and leave some in the bank. Now it's on to paying off my car, woot!!
Two steps forward...
One step back: just got the bill for my emergency room visit. After insurance, I owe about $1000. Argh. Paid off $2400 last week, now add $1000 to my debt.
Still took a step forward, woot!!
Bring on them baby steps...
Step 1: done
Step 2: waiting on amount, hubby had followup colonoscopy, I had visit to ER with followup procedure
Step 3: to follow, won't know aim until things settle
Step 4: to follow, currently at 6%
Step 5: grown child
Step 6: huge mortgage ANNIHILATED!!
Step 7: ahhhh....
