My social media feed has been all about 2016 was bad etc etc.. How can a year be that bad for everyone?  Its ridiculous!  <\/p>\n

Let me review my 2016 for ya. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
1. My credit score jumped from 500 to 700s. <\/li>\n
2. I bought my first truck.  It was used but I didn’t think I needed a $40,000 brand new truck.  This would be my first time buying a used vehicle from a dealer. Out of the 50+ cars I’ve owned.  Sure I could have bought a brand new $25,000 car but this used 2010 Toyota Tundra caught my eye.  <\/li>\n
3. I drove to Kansas City a few times to visit fam.<\/li>\n
4. I brought my GS400 home.<\/li>\n
5. Visited my fambam in Illinois several times.<\/li>\n
6. Went to the beach and then to Gatlinburg right after.<\/li>\n
7. Bought my first house. Sure it’s not quite exactly all mine yet but I’m the next head of family so I had part decision on that house.  My name is on the deed so ha. =P<\/li>\n
8. My GS400 and LS400 sleep together in the makeshift building that came with the house. So I can finally work on my cars again.  <\/li>\n
9. I decided with this new estate I should start my own business since I’ve had my plans on hold for several years.   I say estate because 5acres and its 4 properties that make it 5acres.<\/li>\n
10. Last of all.  I’m happy with myself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
