A Little Backstory

Both my husband and I work full-time. We live in Northern California and bought a house at the peak of the market, before the bubble burst in 2007-2008. We are able to afford our house because we bought what we could afford, but we haven't been able to move up like we had planned. We live in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house with our two children and dog. Besides our mortgage, we have one car loan and a credit card to pay off. We graduated college debt free. I know we are in a lot better place than a lot of people, financially, but we are nowhere close to where we want to be. That's where this blog is going to come in. I'm hoping it will help to keep me accountable with our debt payoff! As I become bolder, I plan to eventually share real numbers on this blog, but I'm not there yet. Right now I'm just trying to share our story.
