The majority of the debt came from starting my business, <a href="http://www.menuconnect.com">www.menuconnect.com</a>, but debt is debt any way you look at it. Thank goodness I have unbelievable rates...<br /><br />Anyways, we are starting to control our finances fairly well. The numbers are coming out to be very similar to our budget, and that makes our lives less stressful.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18299298-113211473667939541?l=patrick-vancefinancial.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Patrick Vancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00697670686051808739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18299298.post-1130891397000078002005-11-01T20:24:00.000-06:002005-11-01T18:29:57.013-06:00Today I was crunching the numbers on my finances, and came out with some satisfactory results. In approximately two years, my wife and I will be debt free except our mortgage. What a day that will be!!!<br /><br />Some background information is this...a little over three years ago we got married. Combine that, my wife's school debt, a honeymoon, a car, and starting a business, and we were fairly well buried. I would guess that we had about an average American's amount of debt for our age, but still, for me, it was always a huge stress.<br /><br />One of my biggest desires is to be debt free, including my mortgage by the time I'm thirty-five. There is just such a relief and stress-free atmosphere with each passing debt we pay off, I can't imagine owing nothing! With a little luck and perseverance, I think we can make it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18299298-113089139700007800?l=patrick-vancefinancial.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Patrick Vancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00697670686051808739noreply@blogger.com0
