SO proud of you guys! #repost @jesskalber10 We did it!! $175,000 in 17 months!! 17 months ago we sat down and realized we were sick and tired of seeing our good income vanish before our eyes, so much debt, and so much mindless spending. If anyone knows me, they know that I am a big spender and changing my ways was not going to be an easy task. We made a budget and we stuck to it, we made a list of our debts smallest to largest, I made a spreadsheet to make sure we stayed in track. Was it always easy, no, but we had an end goal in mind and God led us the rest of the way. Last week on our oldest son’s 7th Birthday he had the honor of hitting submit on our final payment. To say, it was a weight lifted off our shoulders is an understatement. These past 17 months we have learned so much together as a family and learned how working together we can do anything. We have learned to be content and grateful for what we do have and to not focus on what we don’t. We want to live like no one else now, so that we can live and give like no one else later. I’m positive all the podcasts in the car will stick with my oldest for the rest of his life, and I will cherish listening to the three boys practicing their debt free screams. ** next goal is to pay off the house by 2023 πŸ™πŸ»πŸ‘ βœ… no car payments βœ… no student loans βœ… no credit cards βœ… no more phone installments Thank you @daveramsey for finally helping us achieve financial freedom. #daveramsey #weredebtfree #financialfreedom #babysteps #partyoffive #boymom #debtfreecommunity ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 7,972 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 147 ## Tags financialfreedom, debtfreecommunity, daveramsey, partyoffive, weredebtfree, babysteps, repost, boymom --- Copyright (c) Gondola
