WE ARE DEBT-FREE!!!!
$45,000 paid off in 17 months!
No credit card payments 💳
No student loan payments 👨🎓
No car payments 🚗
Last year I married the man of my dreams. I also married his debt. We decided that we didn’t want our hard earned money going to credit card companies, student loan companies or car companies anymore! Our minimum payments totalled close to $700/month! By eliminating these payments, we are now in control of where that money goes every month! Talk about giving ourselves a raise!
This was not easy by any means! We worked. And worked some more! But ultimately we achieved our goal by:
1. Monthly Budget Meetings
2. Side Hustles
3. Contentment
4. Knowing our WHY
This has been a journey for us. It had lots of ups and lots of downs. We had cheerleaders and we had critics. At the end of the day, this is how we want to live our lives. We will not borrow money. We will live below our means. We will give to others. We will communicate with one another. We will work together to create a life we love. And for us, all this starts with TALKING ABOUT MONEY! I know it’s uncomfortable and awkward, but when it isn’t taboo you will see a shift.
I want to encourage anyone that’s on a similar journey to keep going. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you’re thinking that this is something that you want to try, do it. If you think you’re too old, you’re not. If you believe you have to be starving to be an artist, I beg to differ. If you think you don’t make enough, or are in too much debt, or have too much stacked against you, just take a step.
If you are at all intrigued by living the debt-free life, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I LOVE to have honest conversations about money and personal finance with anyone that wants to chat!
