About Me:

ceejay74

I'm the CFO of a three-adult, two-child, three-cat household. There's me (CJ, age 52), my husband (NT, age 53), my wife (AS, age 47), and our kids AA (age 16) and V (age 14). The cats are Clue (15), Wayne (2) and Wilson (1).

Until July 2007 we hadn't been serious about financial stability, but then we started focusing on paying down our massive debt, building an emergency fund and saving for retirement. In October 2010, we finished paying off all of our credit card debt--over $70,000! Adding in student loans and mortgages, we've paid off more than $250,000 of debt so far. In June 2015, we used a windfall to pay off all our remaining non-home-related debt!

In 2024, we hit Coast FIRE!
