A few months ago, I wrote about how we dug ourselves out of debt.Once we cut our expenses and stopped living beyond our means, it didn't take long to make significant progress against the tens of thousands of dollars we owed. And after a few years of struggle and sacrifice, we finally paid everything off. Once all of our consumer debts were gone, we turned our focus to our mortgage.
Because we were young and dumb when we upgraded to our current home, we didn't put a lot of money down. Therefore, we were stuck paying private mortgage insurance. Big mistake. Unfortunately, there was no easy solution to our problem
