Congrats on the baby. It’s wonderful that you are in a situation to do that. Enjoy the baby, enjoy life, enjoy the fact that you are debt free and able to do it. I am looking forward to my debt free days to spend, not with my children, but with my grandchildren. Work free and worry free. Enjoy!!

FS – Thanks, and yes I am VERY excited about having four weeks off. Not sure we would have been able to do it if we weren’t debt free. Having the option to do that is pretty nice.

Chris – hahaha! Trust me when I say I will handle it just fine. I am going to use that time to do two things. Spend lots of time with my family, and focus completely on getting on a consistent workout routine at the gym. My health needs to become a priority now! It will be a good chance for me to spend some time on that new habit.

Plus, we will be doing some hiking, and some biking. Isaac absolutely loves doing both and we haven’t been in a while with everything I have going on. I must add that for most of the time we were getting out of debt, my wife and I saw very little of each other.

Four Weeks Off! That’s great that you can do that but personally I would go nuts. My son Dominic was born 4 weeks ago on Monday and I only took three work days off not because I had to but because I wanted to. In fact my wife had 8 weeks scheduled off but she is seriously considering only taking 6.

We could have both taken more time off but after a while we just want to get back into the swing of things again.

Anyways, good luck to you and Mrs. Enemy Of Debt Lite. I hope things go well.
