Gary and I, in the new year, made the decision to throw all our money into our mortgage to try to pay it off in the next few years. This has taken a considerable amount out of our budget (we've currently doubled our mortgage payments), and we're trying to find ways to make this work.<br />This was a great list- I'll let you know if I discover anything else!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
