0:10.6 | Hi. I'm calling to figure out next best steps. My husband and I, we married about 20 years, about, I'd say 10 years ago, we did the financial peace university. We were in a ton of debt. |
0:21.8 | And we did that for a while and then we got distracted and stopped working on it. |
0:25.5 | But happily now, even though we didn't pay attention for a while, we are out of debt other than our house. |
0:31.7 | I have a six-month emergency fund and everything. |
0:33.7 | And recently I got an inheritance from the passing of my father for some extra cash. |
0:39.1 | So where we're at now, we bought our house 15 years ago. It's 170-ish years old. |

1:35.9 | forward on the building a workshop because the plan always was build a workshop. |
1:40.6 | Then we would have the space to solve other house problems. I have been here long |
1:46.6 | enough to know that my house needs too much. Like our foundation, massive issues, like, you know, |
1:52.1 | everything is old. Nothing is, everything is basically going to need replaced at some point. In fact, |
