It was nine o’clock at night when I realized that I hadn’t bought enough stuffing material for a homemade cat scratching post my husband and I were making. I’d really wanted to finish it that night, because we’re due to get the new sectional...Jul 21, 2015 | Debt, Real Estate
I came across this cool house payoff chart and am sooo tempted to make one of our own. It’s a floorplan of the person’s house, with the paid off portions colored in. My own chart looks more like a 1st grader’s drawing of a house (a square with a...
