Wow, how time flies when you're having fun (or saving money). Seriously though, I can't believe it was back in 2012 when I paid off my last credit card after being in the hole for so long.

I still shake my head in disbelief when I look back to see where we've … [Read more...] about How We Saved Over $180,000 After Paying Down Debt
