In less then a year two major financial burden’s will be lifted from my families tree, the question then becomes whether I will create a new one to replace them? For in less then a year as long as the crap table of life doesn’t pull a major 7, my mortgage and children’s college expenses should be over. With those big numbers being taken away will other costs of life make up the difference? Who knows but G-D willing I’ll get to this period on schedule and feel a certain comfort knowing that I’m a bit more financially free then I’ve been in over 20 years.
