2009 was quite a year. The Sangl’s endured an enormous amount of LARGE financial events including …
- IVF in January (to attempt to have a 2nd child after 9 years of trying for #2) Expected Expense
- Heat Pump replacement (upstairs unit) in January Unexpected Expense
- Heat Pump replacement (downstairs unit) in April Unexpected Expense
- The news that a 2nd child was on the way (without IVF! – found out in June VERY Unexpected Expense
- Moving I Was Broke. Now I’m Not. to a full-time crusade in June Expected Expense
This meant we had to slow down on our house payoff efforts, but we still were able to lower our debt by a whopping TWO PERCENT. This is even while paying an extra 25% toward principle every month! That makes me mad just typing it!!! This is why I am so fervently focused on eliminating ALL debt.
I can’t wait to see what happens in 2010!

Hey, I think you guys did great! We too had many major, unplanned for, setbacks. We are still plugging away at a home mortgage and unfortunately and new and unexpected furnace. I wish I could get my computer to download the payoff graphs…it is old and won’t. Sigh…Best to you both and your family in this new year.

Hey Joe! We were able to pay off a truck this past year and are plugging away at the car while also trying to save on Baby Step #3! Best of luck to you and yours in this new year! Thanks for all you do!
