    I actually flipped a house. It was risky and I was in debt up to my eyeballs, but when it sold I was able to pay off all of my debts associated with the house and the 2 vehicles.

    It was a lot of work and stress, but I can finally say it was worth it.

    Both vehicles are 2010 4x4 TRD OR, 3" lift, w/ 285s

    Our next financial goal is a vacation rental home in Ouray or Moab!
