June Challenge – One Debt

by

I decided to announce the June Challenge a little bit early to give you some prep time.

Choose ONE debt and pay it off!

That’s it. Now I know you are saying, but all my debt balances are too high, I’ve already paid off my little ones. I get that.

But my challenge to you is to think outside the box on ways you can just go at it. Kind of like the cats in this video (doesn’t everyone like cat videos)…just attack!

For me, it will be my credit card debt. Seriously, sell stuff, don’t by extra groceries, stay home and put your gas money toward your debt, ask your neighbors if they have odd jobs they need help with…whatever it takes, go full force for this one month and let’s see what happens.

If you are in, share your debt below…and maybe some out of the box ideas you have for throwing some additional money at it this month. And then every week we can hold each other accountable as to what we have done that’s extra and how we are doing in just killing this ONE debt…

Are you with me? Share your debt below and let’s go. June starts Saturday, so you’ve got this week to think on it and prepare.

Staycation with My Girl

by

It’s official, school is over for the school year…well, at least for Princess. The twins are back up and running for the summer semester.

Princess ended her semester not only with a full load of high school classes completed, but also two college classes. And her lowest final grade…96!  She took 150% of the credits of most high school students and aced them all!

But she did have some setbacks here at the end, not tied to her grades. And frankly we are both relieved that the stress and schedule of the school year is over. I am so glad that I decided we needed a Staycation to celebrate.

Here’s our plan…

  • Booked a hotel with a pool using points for two nights.
  • Went to the library and checked out a large stack of books (Princess and I both have a large stack.)
  • Packed pjs and swimsuits.
  • Packed some snacks and sandwich makings.

We are not going to the beach, but we have a beautiful pool!

And we are off. Leaving the twins home because they have work and school. Sea Cadet is dropping us off at the hotel and then picking us up in two days…

I am over the top excited about this down time, some quality reading time and some one on one quality time with my girl. She’s got some big decisions to make for next year, and while there is no rush at this point, I do want to be available to talk things over as she rolls them around in her head.

So I’m signing off work, my daily life and my hustle for a couple of days to recoup and spend some quality and free time with my girl. I’m sure I will return with a variety of new creative ideas for work and renewed energy to take on the slower summer schedule! How are you kicking your summer off?
