We need a before and after.

It all adds up and you can really feel like the only way to get ahead is to stay put in your tiny townhouse, put budgeting ahead of everything else, and just work work work until hopefully you move up the corporate ladder and maybe get a bit of a raise.Those were exciting and character-building years for us for sure, but when I reached the ripe old age of 27 and our daughter Kennedy was about 5, I was done with it.

I remember the exact moment when we realized there might be a loophole in “the system” and we might be able to actually get that big house on that big property that we wanted our kids to remember growing up in AND actually lower our cost-of-living.As soon as that idea hit, we were ON it!Within a few months, we’d changed our whole lives and have never had to look back.

Let’s look at how THAT managed to happen for us, shall we?.As always: Location, location, location.

Unless you’ve just won the lottery, you’ve got to move into a lower-priced market.

In our previous market, this same property just outside the city limits would have been millions of dollars.That’s the lawyer!

How does my 7 year old even know what a lawyer is?She’s hilarious though.

Look, you’ve never even met her and you love her already.I found this idea on Pinterest originally and you can see.
