$20K Update - WE MADE IT TO $20K!!!!

June 29th, 2020 at 04:15 am

HUGE BOOST to savings!! The casinos finally reopened here and MO took a little guys trip with his Dad and Bro and came home up $1000! So exciting! We also received the payouts from our Hospital Indemnity Plans for both me and Hope. We used mine to pay medical bills and fill in for the reduced pay while I was on maternity leave. We are able to put all of Hope's into savings for now.

We are getting a new air conditioning system for our house this week, that bill will be huge (we are estimating $10K (BOOOO!!!). Unfortunately with the newborn we can't continue in this heat, and need a permanent solution. Our house is large (4000 sq ft) and was built in the 70s. We are getting a mini split (the house has baseboard heating, so no duct work to be able to put in central air) and this should increase the value of our home as well. So the $20K milestone will be short lived and sadly we are going to go waaaaay down, but so thankful we are able to make this much needed improvement to our home using savings and without having to take on any new debt!

Welcome Baby Gurl!!!

June 14th, 2020 at 11:56 pm


Yes you read that correctly! MO and I welcomed a beautiful and healthy baby girl a few weeks ago! Those of you that have been here for the last few years (I think that is most of us) know that we lost our twins in 2018 and it's been a very long and hard journey to get baby girl here (13 years, but whose counting...lol). We are so happy and blessed to have her!

We named her Hope. After losing the twins, and everything that is going on in the world now we felt it was perfect for her. We call her Hopie, Hopester and Hopeapottamus..lol.

I am on maternity leave/parental leave till just after the 4th of July holiday. I am soaking up every second with my wonderful little honey!

Debt Update as of 5/8/20 - How's Life?

June 1st, 2020 at 06:30 pm

I am very far behind, trying to get caught up!

$653.66 paid off in the last 2 weeks!!

Renter #1 is behind $500 for May, and owes all $850.00 for June. MO wants to give her a break and take a loss to help get her caught up. I am all for helping people out, especially in these hard times, but I feel like she is just taking advantage of the situation and not making any effort to pay because she can blame it on the current worldly issues. She is still buying items on FB from other people and me! (SMH!)

We received notice from Rental #2 that they will be moving out in July, which was expected as they were only here for a 1 year internship. So we will need to get that posted for rent again and there was also an issue with the water heater, so that may need to be replaced. The fun never ends when you are a landlord! LOL!
