December Mortgage Update


I eat up visual inspiration. When you show me the before and after pictures on Trim Healthy Mama, my brain says, "YES! She did it! It's possible! There's a plan that works! I can do it!"

The above image is a little before and after visual stimulation for you. In nine months, God has handed us $22,058.60 extra, and with a continuous side work hustle and an intentional focus, we've punched our mortgage in the face at the end of every month.

My goal for this year was to get below $60,000.00 due on our last debt, the mortgage, before the end of the year, and God did better than that for us. Our new goal for the year is two-fold:

  1. Finish coloring in the roof on our in home visual aid. That number is $54,692.00.
  2. Get to the 50% mark on the price we paid for our home. We purchased our home for $109,000.00, so halfway is $54.500.00.
Since these numbers are only a couple hundred apart, and we're only a couple of thousand dollars away, Matt and I both want to work extra hard in December to make those goals. 

Keeping in mind that we make about $40,000.00 a year, combined, putting $22,000.00 extra toward the mortgage in nine months is huge. In fact, with car repairs, maternity bills, and life expenses, it's impossible. God's doing this, and we're just running along with Him to keep pace. We'll see you at the finish line!
