For Your Country: Celebrate your independence and freedom, and honor those that sacrificed in order for you to have them. Freedom doesn’t come [...] Read more »
Happy Father’s Day!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I just wanted to wish all you wonderful Dad’s out there a Happy Father’s Day! With two children and another on the way, this day means a lot to me.

When Are You Going To Have A Yard Sale?
Today was the big day! We had a huge yard sale today, and we made an extra $220. This was with NO big dollar items. We had tons of stuff to get rid of and I am not even convinced that we got rid of everything possible. I am pretty excited about our extra earnings from stuff that has been just hanging around our house. Could you benefit from an extra few hundred dollars?

Memorial Day Tribute
Without those BRAVE men and women that sacrificed and paid the ultimate price, we would not be free to have what we have. Becoming debt free wouldn’t matter much without the freedom we have been given. We should all reflect on what kind of person it takes to fill those shoes, as most of us have no idea what sacrifice of this magnitude feels like. The families who have lost loved ones, my heart is with you! THANK YOU! GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!
