When my husband hung a smart TV in the sunroom back in April, we started spending more time in the room–even our teenage daughters started hanging out with us. However, we all agreed that the existing furniture was not comfortable, especially to watch movies. The moral of this story is to always ask and always ask politely.

I couldn’t imagine making the monthly payments for the full term of the loans, so I concocted an idea to pay them off early and wrote our Debt Freedom Plan. To eliminate debts, you will have to make some short-term sacrifices. 3 – Set your guidelines for the year.

I must make one confession though. I buy two gingerbread house kits; one for each daughter. My kids are on a winter break for two weeks and they need to be entertained or I'll hear, "can I watch TV?"
