Mortgage Payoff Status
April has been the most exciting month for awhile! We were able to take 3 pieces off our mortgage-debt visual aid tool! I’m hoping that this will still keep us on course to have our home paid off by November 2013! Sweet!

I have no experience with being in collections, but I have heard Dave talk about frequently. I’m so happy you are looking to get out of debt, it’s the best feeling ever!
Wow! Very impressing. Do you have any other investments, or do you concentrate only on your mortgage? Very well done, nonetheless.
