2017 Goal Check In: July Progress

A few done over the month, and that’s about it.  Slow month due to surgery round 2 and ton of stuff at work to get a project ready for launch in mid-September.  Financials Mortgage balance below $80,000 Student loan balance below $15,000 – Done! Student loan group 06/07 (oldest loans) paid […]


2017 Goal Check In: May Progress
