Our small business was going well, so we said so long to renting office space and purchased a commercial property in the summer of 2012.

Aside from the mortgage, we also added equipment and renovation loans with the purchase, and we had a student loan. This side hustle income was mainly used for the fun stuff, such as camping, home renovations & repairs, and needs for our kids. We buy reliable vehicle brands that are built to drive for many many years.
