Financially Fit Friday


When real faith grips you, you develop a mind-set that looks for the best in everything, refuses to give up, finds a way around or through every obstacle, and presses on to victory.”
- Norman Vincent Peale

Family Loan $8000 – We will slowly start paying this back after this summer when I will be working full time again (I work in the local school districts) and the family member is ok with that, thankfully!

We also have two mortgages, one for our personal home and one for our rental property.  Neither one of these we will post until all other debt is paid off.  Then we'll tackle our personal home mortgage!
