Kicked the Van Payment to the Curb
FINALLY!! Got the van paid off, 3 months early. We are so excited. DH is already planning the next bill to start tackling!!
It is because of this board that we even heard or learned about snowballing and budgeting. Its because of all of you that we were able to pay the van off and can now start working on our others.
Thank youDawn
