What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know? I’m terrible at guitar, and I can’t get better no matter how much  I try it.

She puts up with all of my stuff, so that’s inspiring on its own. But, I have a lot of good friends that I didn’t used to have.  I used to have a lot of good acquaintances, but not close friends. Now, I have a lot of close friends. That really inspires me with the way that their marriages are and the way that they treat people.

But, what we said was we are going live off of my salary. We are not going change our lifestyle whatever we make, whether it’s a thousand dollars or a hundred thousand dollars, we are going use it to pay down our debt. Our debt went down quicker. That would be my recommendation, if you can swing it.
