As aforementioned, my wonderful Husband is a craigslistaholic. He's man enough to admit it too! He frequents the free posting the most I think. Two weeks before my birthday he brought home a two year, stainless, brilliantly white pillow top mattress. I am now like the girl in the princess and the pea story! I feel like I'm floating on a cloud when I lay down for the night! He also scored a metal porch swing (I think there's a pict of it one or two posts ago). And the newest item he got is a camp canopy. It's the kind that completely covers a pick-nick table and has walls of bug netting. All of this was FREE! Way to go Babe!
Enter now into the inner workings of my brain.....hummmm.....sounds scary!
Last night Ben and I got down and dirty with our goals and life desires. We want to be self-employed, but don't have time or capital to pursue this hope. Sooooo, our solution will be to: 1) sell our house 2) move to a rental 3)save like ants hording in the fall 4)when we have the set amount (at least 6 month expenses saved) Ben'll limit hours or quit his job 5)we'll continue to stay in the rental 'till the self-employment is establish and we have %20 down on a new home.
We crunched numbers until I was seeing double but now we have goals to achieve and we're quite excited. So sometime between next month and February, we'll be moved and hopefully stay in that rental for about two years total.
Whew! Now was that really so hard? or as scary as you thought? I hope that I was able to convey the facts without too much confusion! I'll keep you posted.....literally!

I am somewhat of a craigslistaholic myself..I understand. That's really exciting about your life goals and such. What does he want to be self employed doing? Your goals look similiar to ours..Josh eventually wants to be a full-time photographer. Although we haven't sat down and crunched out the numbers. I hate crunching numbers.
Goals are important aren't they! Good for you guys for communicating! lv anna
You sound busy! Love those nights when you can actually talk about the future, hopes and kids. Way to go!
What business are you guys going to start?
We'll be configuring our real estate investing network.....rightly named Geronimo.
Craigslist rocks! I love it! He has totally scored with the free stuff, congrats!
I'm with Kristi on the crunching numbers. You and Ben have got it so together (or atleast it appears that way...hee hee), Dave and I need to pick your brains for life wisdom in areas we are not good at!
