Oh, and the time has come! drum roll please.........

I am very excited to post what we have paid for so far this year! It has been a busy year full of ups and downs in the financial department. Some things have worked out as planned and others have not. However, we are putting our best foot forward and we are happy to say that we have done pretty darn well this year!

So here it goes:
Truck paid off $16,000
Farm payment paid $9200
Disney Trip paid $2,000
Kim school $800
New tires and rotors van $500
So far money saved and items paid off total $28,500
We really wanted to pay off our credit card and start chipping away at our van payment however that did not work out quite as well as we had hoped. The next few months are filled with "extras" for us including $500 farm insurance, $300 worth of birthdays, $800 Christmas, $250 Horse vaccinations, $550 farm and truck taxes and the list continues. Because of the extras that always happen around this time of the year we will not be paying as much towards our debt as we would like, however will be putting as much as we can down.
With 2010 lurking around the corner we know that we will have a fresh start and the opportunity to pay off tentatively "$15,000 - $20,000" more in debt. We would like to tackle the van and the credit card to pay them off completely leaving us only my school loans from my bachelors degree and our annual farm payment. We are THRILLED with the progress so far and cannot wait for our future plans and updates which will happen over the next few months!
