You asked for more posts....

so here is a good one.

WE'RE DEBT FREEEEEE!!!!!!!

OK, so technically we are not 'debt free', but all we owe on now is the mortgage.

We just sent off the last couple payments to our credit cards yesterday, and those snakes now no longer have their fangs in us. I guess that makes our first debt free date 8/8/8 - pretty cool, huh?

*does happy dance*

So now we are on to Baby Step 3 - building up our FFEF and getting 3 to 6 months expenses save up. We actually have 1 month done and should have the 2nd month+ done by the end of August. We will probably finish it out in September, possibly October.

Unfortunately, we then have to save up for taxes next year. I know we will owe, so we need to get that taken care of so that Murphy doesn't end up working at the KGB...errr....I mean IRS. My bad. ;)

C'mon everyone. Get rolling through the Baby Step's so you can join us in freedom. The air is fresher, the grass is greener (it really is!) and you sleep a WHOLE lot better at night.
