It was so big that I cried for two days straight– we paid off six figures in non-mortgage debts. How we got to six figures of non-mortgage debt: In the summer of 2012, we found an opportunity to purchase an office building for our small business.

When I was younger, I used to think that a higher income was the solution to most of my financial issues. However, this isn’t always the case.
