Thank you Uncle Sam!



So being first time home owners has a few perks every now and then. We just received our tax return, inlcuding the $8,000.00 tax credit for first time home buyers. Now some of you out there may say the following:


1. "Sweet, lets go to Vegas and get rich!"

2. "You know how much peanut butter you can buy with that! Life time supply baby!"

3. "Let me tell you about my brother-in-law, he knows this great opportunity to invest in that money into a multi-level fish bait that will guarantee a fish everytime."

4. You add your own....


As for me and my house, (like that scripture reference?) we paid off our car loan and credit card debt. Yea it is lame but man does it feel good!

You aren't lame. You are awesome! Eric and I just saved up 6-months savings to live on, and financial freedom really is an amazing feeling. Go Allsops!
