This is a blog centered around becoming debt free and personal finance. I hope that it provides people, like myself, encouragement for breaking the chains of debt to live a better life.

Moment of Excitement
Logged in last Friday to check on the interest accrued to our loans and saw that there was a zero balance on what was just over $25K. I was so pumped for a second. I did not understand why it was a zero balance, but I didn't care. Then, I thought it was too good to be true, and it was. Our loans had been bought out and transferred over to another loan carrier. Luckily, it is one we already use and makes it much easier on allocating our payments. I will update our debt totals once the balance shows up on the new account.
Sorry for not posting as frequently. I have been working at the local nature camp for these past two weeks. I really decided I do not like kids between 7-9. I find them annoying for some reason with their complaining and he said/she said stuff. However, the money is wonderful and the people I work with are nice. Only 3 more days of that.
We just got back our tax return and it was more than expected just over $1,000. We plan to mount the flat screen and buy a rug for our living room which is an awkward set up. I will post a before and after picture to show you guys. I anticipate that this will cost altogether about $500. We will just save the other $500. We are up over $9,000 in savings and other cash accounts. The market has been on a little tear the past couple of days and we have made some money.

This happened to me not too long ago. They moved my biggest loan (which is 1 loan made up of 4 smaller ones). They didn't send emails, letters, nothing. I couldn't find it for a week, and payment was becoming painfully close to being overdue. I did not for a second get excited. I guess I'm too cynical! And that's awesome you guys have such nice savings.
