Hi,
As stated above, I am a single mom of 2 boys (7 &3) and I stumbled upon this website a couple of days ago. I am excited to find people who think like me....people who don't want to work their whole life and retire broke.
Here is my situation... unfortunately, I would like to be further along in my journey, but this is how it stands:
Home- mortgage $65,500... value $85,000
Student loans- $31,500 in deferment, repayment beginning in July '08
Car- owe $6,500... value same (will payoff 1/09)
403b- $350.00 (just started contributing)
Savings acct- $565.00
My biggest challenge is income, which should be going up in the next year. I am good at managing what I have and I am very content with what I have. I am also very willing to sacrifice to get ahead. I would like to "retire" at 45... at first that doesn't seem likely, but I am one of those people that doesn't have a high maintenance lifestyle (lucky me!). Even though I am a simple person, I definitely want enough money to be able to travel and enjoy life. I hope to learn from others experiences and advice and am happy to be here....Thanks in advance
