Happy New Year’s 2019: In January 2019, we were down to one final non-mortgage loan, so we created just one financial goal for the year—-to pay off that last non-mortgage debt by December. 1 – Save a starter Home Emergency Fund. In November 2016, we started contributing again to our retirement.

As I reflect back to January 2016, I started that year pretty determined to pay off the balance of our non-mortgage debts. And we were on a roll in January 2016. But on the other hand, we’re 47 & 55… I’m surprised I can even type that… So in November 2016, we made a decision to pivot.
