    What a great post. First off congratulations on your successes so far, keep up the great work! Secondly, thank you for the kind words and the advice. Like I said earlier, I am all over the place and this situation has caused me to go through some ups and many downs, but I'm happy to be making...

    Thank you for the advice and good point. Im on it. $500 shouldn't be a lot of money for me each month but it definitely is at the moment because of the debt. On another note we cancelled our dish network yesterday. $94/month saved and we will be streaming Netflix and Hulu for the kids. This...

    What would you tell your 16 year old self?

    I'd tell myself not to be so afraid of failure and not to care what others think. I'd also tell myself not to be afraid to talk to my father about things, he's much more supportive than I realized.

    Thank you for the kind words! We have another couple coming tomorrow for a second look at the house, so my fingers are crossed. I can not wait till this thing is sold!

    Good point. I should have worded it differently... at this point I don't see it as a viable option because I can not give up my income. Between family obligations and the debt I currently have, I believe it would be unwise for me to start a business that requires me to quit my current job. I...

    Agreed. I got myself into a pretty messed up situation. My wife actually wanted to leave the house before I did. Her reason was different than mine because she didn't realize how bad it was financially. She wants to move closer to her family (which is also closer to mine, and my job). I'm...

    Everything I could ever want, yet still not happy!

    Hey brother. It sounds like you're dealing with a serious bout of depression. I would try exercise, maybe also picking up a hobby (a physical one, might I suggest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?). Charity work might be great too. Helping others might be the thing that triggers happiness in your life...

    At first I was kind of offended by this because in my mind I'm a Slow Laner who is moving himself into the Fastlane eventually. "Who does he think he is, saying I'm on the Sidewalk?" If you can't tell, it's been a while since I've read TMF. "A Sidewalker (a follower of the Sidewalk financial...

    Another update for you guys... nothing earth shattering but I'm plugging along - The house is still on the market. We've had a few serious inquiries but no official offers. We've lowered the price as far as we can go without being in the red post-sale. I have a good feeling it will sell...

    Becoming a father was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have two young sons and I wouldn't trade them for the world. With that said, it has made everything in life much harder. I barely have a free moment outside of my Slowlane because of spending time with my family. With two...

    Thanks Andy. What I've learned most from this experience is to use my brain more and not jump into major life decisions so recklessly. My wife and I bought a house we couldn't truly afford because we got ourselves so excited about all the nice things about it. "We'll make it work" was...

    Don't mean to bring back an old thread but I just wanted to give an update. The house is officially on the market. We might make a few bucks off the home which would be nice. The plan is set to rent a cheap place after the house sells. We will be moving in with my parents in between the sale...
