Save $$$ Home Emergency Fund – Dave suggests to start at $1000, but being self-employed, ours is much higher, but it is not quite 3-6 months of expenses. Increase our emergency funds for the home & office to 3 – 6 months worth of expenses. Our Debt Freedom Plan. We will cash flow a FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEY.

Money stopped being a burden and became a hobby, something I enjoyed and thrived on- literally. I wonder what would happen if more people adopted the money hobby.

No more of this expensive cable package stuff (we downgraded when we realized we weren’t watching that much), and no more spending on things that were just “okay.” This means that after we take care of retirement and emergency fund contributions, and after everything else is taken care of, we have enough to do what we like.
