Time Flies
Wow! I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted. Hopefully, I won't go so long between posts.
Tonight, I am planning to wrap up the walk down the Freedom Road, but I plan to start a new blog that will not have anything to do with finances, but first lets wrap up the Freedom Road.
After selling our house and paying off $25,000 in debt, we proved that we weren't mature enough to manage what we had left.
Instead of paying off all of our debt and renting for a couple of years, we chose to buy another house. Of course, we didn't buy a house that was approximately the same value, we bought a house that was double the value. At that time, we were able to pay the bills and still work on paying off the debt, but that would change 18 months after we bought the house.
My wife was working in the Real Estate industry when it tanked. The broker she was working for laid off a couple of people and she was one of them. This was actually a blessing. She had not been happy for 4 months, so we looked at it as a blessing. This was a major changing point in our lives.
We started hearing more from God, and more importantly we started listening. Sonya felt led to pursue something that she had always wanted to do, but never followed through. I fully support Sonya in this endeavor, but in order to pursue it, she is not working outside the home. This has cut our pay in half. For the last 12 months, we have been living on God's blessings.
We will be selling our house and paying off all of our debt in the next 3 months. So, we are now starting down an entirely different path, but will always be following the Freedom Road.
That is all from the Freedom Road, but check back in May when I will be announcing some very exciting news.
'Til we meet again...
