Today I spent twelve hours in my Jimmy on the hottest day of the year. My air conditioning recently went out, so the drive from Wisconsin was not so enjoyable; however, about St. Louis I remembered that Rex Bumgarner fixes air conditioners. The last time he fixed mine it cost less than $50. If only I could have remembered this prior to departure.
In preparing for my return, apparently Jeremiah and Sarah were shredding credit card offers (under proper supervision). While going through the mail Jeremiah came across a real credit card. Target Visa had sent us another card. Nothing could excite Jeremiah more than getting an opportunity to shred a real credit card! It is so awesome to have a five year old and three year old that understand the evils of debt!
Thats great! Teach them to never go into debt will be one of the best things you could ever do for them. I think from that first lession they will learn the most important thing, that money is not free. Most of us learn the hard way (in different degrees of hardship) and spend so much of our lives worrying about how to get out of it.
Anyways, This is a very ambitious goal and your making so much progress already. I wish you all the luck in the world with this and may you be debt free in 2010!
