CNN Money 101 Classes

May 3, 2008 in Tools with 0 Comments

One of my core values is to CONTINUALLY LEARN.  About finances.  About gardening.  About leadership.  About being a husband and dad.  I love learning.  LOVE IT!

In all of my classes, I tell everyone that my class is NOT the "be-all, end-all, teach-you-everything-about-finances" class.  Because money affects nearly every aspect of our lives, it is so crucial to continue learning about money.

A good place to further one's learning about money is at CNNMoney.com's Money 101 site.  They have a 23-lesson class put together that is easy to understand and well put together.  Check it out HERE.

Here's this month's update!

Paid-For Squares:  735 739

Squares Remaining:  1691 1687

% of House Owned By The Sangl's:  30.3% 30.5%

% of House Owned By Wells Fargo:  69.7% 69.5%

Here is the updated "Sangl Home Pay-Off Spectacular" (Click on the picture to view the larger version)

We now own the entire south wall!  For one more month, we remained on a slower path of paying off the mortgage as we prepare for known, upcoming expenses.

Frankly, it just plain stinks to slow down for a few months on this thing, but in just a little while we will be back attacking this mortgage in a way we never have before!  Even though it is not fun to slow down on the mortgage payoff, it would be WAY WORSE to be slaughtering the mortgage and have a future expense derail our efforts!  So Jenn and I have slowed down just for a few months to position ourselves in a way that will enable us to CRUSH this mortgage in a HUGE way.

How are you doing on YOUR house payoff spectacular?  Don't have one?  Get yours here => [download#14#nohits].
