But you’ll find a variety of all strategies here on the website.

Thank you everyone - this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of a variety of thoughts and possible vehicles. 

I redid the guest bathroom, updated light fixtures throughout the house, repainted the whole interior, updated appliances, built furniture, added a garden space and a variety of fruiting plants, and so much more I can't even remember.
