We made our first mortgage payment and signed up to start the biweekly payments instead. I wanted to get that started ASAP since we have the money now. This will ensure one extra payment a year without us feeling it and it'll be easier to budget for. I like win-win situations! I am hoping to put more towards it after our credit cards and medical bills are paid off, but doubt we'll be able to. I think we'll have to seriously look at replacing our car (we only have one) at that point. It already has over 140k miles on it and those others debts won't be paid off for two years.
Next thing to do is research oil heat. I have never had it before and have to figure out how that servicing works. I also need to get a quote for a solar roof. I am going to get quotes from Solar City and Sunergy.

Anyway, thanks for the comment and making me rethink things!

Stretch plastic window covers are easy to install with double sided tape and work well. If removed carefully, they can be re-used next year. In our area it's common to hang/staple quilts over door frames to retain heat. Our best money saver was the programmable thermostat to adjust temperature overnight and when the house was empty.
