Default My summer of money

In the 2008 downtown, I switched employers and kept making good money.
Each year adding more debt to my household.
Life was good money came in and went out.

2016, Started at a new company with what looked like lots of upside.
In 2017 when the next downturn hit, I took a 40% pay cut.
Bills started to pile up and it was stressful.

As most people, we were quick to spend with added income but not to cut with my pay cut.

2018 was the year of paying off bills and closing out debt.
Both vehicles paid off, 3 CC's payed down and all we have left is our mortgage and associated housing bills.

April of 2019 I was layed off. After finally paying off a bunch of bills and cutting our monthly expenses by almost 3k per month, I decided to take the summer off.

Being worry and mostly debt free I have been so happy.
Also, I've can buy way more hunting things now!

If you can do this, you'll be so happy!

Now, off to solo hunt for 4 days.
Work, psh, later.
I need to catch some deer!
