Getting Started

I've written blogs in the past, but never targeted ones. This one is devoted to our family's trip on the road less traveled.

I met my husband almost 4 years ago. We'd both been divorced, him twice, me once. I had three daughters that lived with me. He had two daughters that lived with their mother, and one son that lived with his mother. So, we've got 6 children ... in 4 cities ... in 2 states. Their ages range from 10 to 18 and grades from 4th to Freshman in college.

I work a full time job. With the most recent round of layoffs, my husband Wes (not his real name) and I decided to start our own consulting firm. He has an incredible business concept with lots of interest so far. He's even gotten the ball rolling on, not one but, TWO contracts in the last two weeks. This is astronomical for a startup business that only opened its proverbial doors two three weeks ago.

However, when I married Wes, he and I both had baggage from our "past lives". He also brought with him $70,000ish in tax debt, to toss in with my student loan from college and my car payment.

This blog will be my way of keeping track, and sharing with you, the progress we make toward financial independence, the growth we achieve as a family, and as a business.

Feel free to keep me company
