November 11, 2012 By

It was unequivocally the messenger‘s fault. Here are two … [Read more...]

Source: google.com via Brian on Pinterest we paid off over $127,000.00 of debt in four (4) years. during those four years we made several small changes over time in order to slay the Debt Dragon. occasionally, at a speaking engagement or on the fan page folks will ask how we did it. due to time constraints or my limited typing skills, my answer is usually something like: we went bezerk or we went freaknasty all up on that debt. while true, i can do better. since we paid off our last debt … [Read more...]

October 23, 2012 By
#60 Refinance Source: media-cache5.pinterest.com via Cherie on Pinterest During our Debt Slaying Journey (DSJ), we lopped 7 yrs off of the Debt Dragon’s cousin Frank, The Secured Debt Dragon. While a brief stop to the DSJ was hard, it was worth the minor delay for a huge long-term gain. We went from having 22 years left to 15. Assuming we go the full term of the loan, we’ll save around $50K. We don’t plan on going the full term, … [Read more...]

awesome. gracious. fun. and most importantly, delicious. i don't write restaurant reviews. that's not my thing. words like nestled and pallet aren't in my ordinary vernacular. so this isn't a restaurant review. please be reminded: the king spent 2.5 years not eating at restaurants - he's hardly an expert. 3 Sisters Cafe has been on diners drive-ins and dives (apparently a show on this cable tv that all the kids are talking about) where their corn cakes were featured. needless to say, i went … [Read more...]
