Getting back on track with some new goals

Whew.

Its been a whirlwind of a past year or so (moved, got married, tons of other crazy stuff), but its time I got back to writing about my life, cause its still pretty darn interesting.

Which isnt good.

I really want a boring life sometimes. I mean its great that I love my work and business, and I absolutely adore being married, but its been too much change the past 18 months. My business has been up and down, and back down again, but with potential to be back up again soon (hopefully).

Ive been able to keep paying down my mom debt slowly (I send her $1,000 every month). I dont plan on increasing that paydown at the moment, but Ive told her at any time she can ask for a big chunk back (up to 30K or so). She seems OK with the 1K/month for now, which is good. The graph is looking good (from 145K to 69K current):

The next few months are going to be very telling to how the next stage of my debt repayment journey goes. Ive done well to pay down alot the past few years, but now its time to totally be debt free AND start to grow my savings into a number that really lets me sleep well at night.
