Last September we buckled down (the reluctant spouse got on board!) and started attacking our $40,000 of debt. Now one year later we're done! The last thing we paid off was Damon's pickup. So long Ford credit!
I have been so focused on making the debt disappear that I didn't plan for what we would do after it was gone. I feel a little lost. There are so many things that we want to see, do, or buy it's overwhelming. I need a plan! Our new challenge is definitely learning to save. We've never had that option before, and I think it may be as challenging as getting to where we are now.
We are splurging a little this week on a new TV. Our current TV has a wavy image that has been driving Damon crazy. It will be awesome to write a check for something fun instead of a bill!
We've been debating selling our house and moving into an apartment where we wouldn't have to worry about maintenance. That appeals to me. Escaping a renovation sounds like a good idea. We've also thought about buying another home, but I know that we'll still have maintenance issues. Today we are leaning toward staying put and getting our fixer-upper repaired. No telling what we'll decide tomorrow. The good news is that we don't have to decide anything right away.
