| Yeah! We finished paying off our Debt Snow Ball on December 31, 2016! I was able to pay myself a $7500 bonus in December and we used that to pay the last on our Lincoln and our Mercy Hospital bill. That is sooooo NICE. Lots of work. Total debt paid off was $348,798! The stock market was up this month after Trump's election. The bond market was down a tad due to rising interest rates. We had to fix the brakes in the Camry, which was over $700. We had Christmas gifts to buy and a trip to Willmar. Brandon and Philly and family stopped at our place on the way to Omaha for Christmas. We picked up Emilie at her new house over by Portland Ave and took her with us to Willmar. Paul, Lynn and Grant joined us at Marcella's. She gave us $500, which we are saving. I started receiving my BGC retirement monthly as I turned 65 in November and we're having it direct deposited into our Edward Jones account and then they purchase shares in the Income Fund of America. We'll save that going forward. It is listed under Stocks above. This December was my best December in accounts receivable at H2HC. The company earned over $16000 for the first time in December. We also began tithing Mary Sue's inheritance from Ruth and Chuck and gave $3000 to our church, and $1500 each to Camp Victory and Life 107.1. Out of that same monies we gave each of the kids $500 and the grand kid's college fund $250 for Christmas all from Chuck and Ruth's inheritance. |
