I did it.

I put in an offer on a house.

I love old houses and this is the one I settled on. I wanted a old two story home. My commute is going to be about 30 miles, but the small town this home is in, is beautiful and a better place for my daughter. It was built in 1910, house is all wooden floors and no carpet except a small room in the basement. Still has the original wooden door, with a skeleton key lock. The door bell is still original turn type. The kitchen is all updated, there is formal dining. The basement is finished in one room. Upstairs are three nice sized bedrooms. The staircase to upstairs still has original wood work. It is great.

It is close to what I am paying in rent too, so I will be ok. I am just scared though. This is huge for me and something I never thought I could do!! I have cleaned up so much debt. I am not done, but I am getting closer and I already see a difference in my money each month. I am snowballing my debt. My next thing is my car so I dont have a huge car payment. I will never have a large car payment again once I pay it off.

I am going to start investing when I am done with that. I am also going to pay extra on my house each month. I am well on my path to getting it all figured out.

The other huge thing for me is holding my exhusband accountable. He has not paid any medical bills for my daughter since we were divorced as he is ordered to do in our divorce. I am going after him like flies on shit. He owes me over $3k and further more his constant games of putting me in a hard spot over his lack of responsibility are over. I am taking away his power over me and making up for it in money.

I tried to file a small claims lawsuit against him for the money he owes me for medical bills. He avoided the civil process server. To the point they saw people in the house and they didnt answer the door. I decided since he wants to play that game, I will go another path. I will get him for contempt of a court order. He wants to play, I will play. He wants to risk going to jail, he can go to jail. I don’t care anymore. I have documentation now that he not only refuses to pay the medical bills, he hides from the civil process server.

I printed out all his mortgage papers (Thank you FL!) and sent them in to the state to show he has a lot of money and is just doing this to be a jerk. I also sent in all medical bills.

The most beautiful part of all of this is what he did to my daughter insurance wise. He dropped her in Nov of 2006 which violated a court order yet again. I have documentation of this as well. In April I fought to get the right to cover her health insurance myself. He refused to give me paperwork that she was dropped so I could add her to mine. Mine is not open enrollment.

Her insurance paid for her medication until last month so I had no idea she was dropped. Her insurance wouldnt tell me why they did this, as he carried the policy and they cant tell me nothing. They did finally tell me he dropped her in Nov 2006 and had no reason for why her medication was paid for.

She has gone almost a year with no health insurance so no insurance now will cover her ADHD because of the lapse in coverage. I am going after him for this as well to pay more percentage of her medical bills for her ADHD since he caused this, plus he needs to pay me for her health insurance.

My hearing is October 31st, his birthday. It is karma.
