    Default Financial Freedom Getting Closer.....

    I have not posted forever, but I have been very busy trying to keep taps on what we spend and where it goes and getting rid of items we don't use that could make money to pay our debt down.

    Yesterday was the last of the student loans and a few medical and now the only debt is our home. It has $67,000 left on it. So if we can pay off over $75,000 in 7 years then I think that mortgage will disappear as fast.

    For the ones who know me I do come around to read what is going on everyday usually its at 4am when dh is getting up and I'm making his coffee.

    Happy dance today

    Anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
