Homeowner by 30!: August 2013
http://homeownerby30.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 24, 2013. Car Bill Coming Down. Well, I think it is a tad unrealistic to think that I won't need to take any money out of my savings to cover the cost of my car repair. But, I did double check my travel rewards credit card and saw that two of my purchase erasers hadn't gone through. I went in and fixed that, which should take $96 off of my credit card bill in the next couple of days! Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Ebay and Car Repairs. I sold a bridesmaids dress, a Cricut cartridge that I dec...

Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Well, I'm officially one of those bloggers that posts very, very sporadically and then pops up when you least expect it. Lame. But, this seems like a good place to record my New Year's Resolutions, so I'm back! 1 Finish our name changes! We both hyphenated our last names, but only got as far as Social Security and the DMV. I want to take care of it with the bank, work, insurance, etc, etc. 5 Hit 3,000 miles on my Fitbit by the end of 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). PAID OFF ...

Homeowner by 30!: One Down!!
http://homeownerby30.blogspot.com/2014/07/one-down.html
Thursday, July 17, 2014. Two weeks ago we hit a big financial milestone that I never shared: we paid off the first of my husband's student loans! We hit the jackpot when I got paid for summer school and he got his first paycheck from his internship at the radio station. I was able to beef up our savings account by about $1,300, and put a little more than that towards his loans. We paid off his first loan and put over $1,000 towards the second one. YES!

Homeowner by 30!: January 2014
http://homeownerby30.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Since I haven't posted in a while, I thought I would give a brief update. My husband finished his first semester of his radio program with straight A's, so I'm very proud of him! He starts refereeing soccer games this weekend, so that will be a nice source of additional income to help us meet our goals this year (see yesterday's post). My vote is to put that money toward one specific thing, like his loans or our savings, but I need to see what my husband wants to do as well.

Homeowner by 30!: Need Some Advice
http://homeownerby30.blogspot.com/2014/07/need-some-advice.html
Sunday, July 20, 2014. I know 529 plans are a great college savings option, but I'm not sure I want to commit all of our funds to college. I MIGHT want to use it for that, but what if my kid gets a scholarship? What if he/she wants to use it for a first car or a house down payment? And (the teacher in me cringes at this thought) what if my kid doesn't go to college? I don't like the limits on a 529 plan. So those of you with kids, what do you use to save for them? July 21, 2014 at 8:38 AM. Interest rates...

Homeowner by 30!: October 2013
http://homeownerby30.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 1, 2013. The other day we got a letter from Aspire, the lender that handles 4/5 of my husband's student loans. The letter was informing us that his loans had gone into deferment because he is enrolled halftime in school. I didn't think much of it, figuring we were going to continue to pay the interest on three of the loans and put all extra funds into the one with the lowest balance. So, I have a strategy question.

Homeowner by 30!: Anyone Out There?
http://homeownerby30.blogspot.com/2015/06/anyone-out-there.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. It's been almost a year since I posted here. I'm not sure if anyone still has me on their readers, but just in case. Last August I had a baby girl! She's awesome. :) I went back to work full time in November while my husband stayed home, went to school part-time, and continues to ref soccer games as a part-time weekend gig. As soon as I get paid for summer school, we're knocking out student loan 4 out of 5! June 30, 2015 at 9:25 AM. June 30, 2015 at 9:54 PM. July 1, 2015 at 8:58 AM.

Friday, May 10, 2013. Redecorating on the Cheap: Printables. Yesterday I posted about how I spruced up my apartment for free. Today and tomorrow I'd like to post about how I added some pizzazz to my place by spending very little money. I was able to use some things I had around my house to keep it low-cost, but you may need to purchase some of these items to make it happen. They are legit, and not stolen! In the printables section. I also searched her blog for various holidays. I searched Pintere...I use...

Homeowner by 30!: Would You Rather?
http://homeownerby30.blogspot.com/2015/07/would-you-rather.html
Monday, July 6, 2015. This month we will pay off one of DH's loan companies, leaving one to go. That's four loans we've paid off in two years of marriage (today is our anniversary! The total with the back-interest he owed is about 28k in two years. :). The plan is to pay off the second loan company (13,500) by our third anniversary. And then discuss relocating for DH to get a job, having another baby, etc. This becomes a no-brainer. McDonald's iced coffee or another baby? New lip gloss or another baby?
