No more payments! 💪 Great job!

I've gotta start off by saying...

I wouldn't have believed this was possible if I didn't see people I personally know share their #debtfree stories. My hope is that you read this and know that YOU are capable of doing ANYTHING you set your mind to! 🙌 #dontcompare #getinspired

This obviously isn't my usual healthy post and is in fact, embarrassing as hell to share. However, I'll take one for the team because I think more people are feeling stuck and don't talk about the hard stuff.

I've been watching this debt sit on my credit card for about 10 years. I would make above the minimum payments and kept telling myself "I'm earning points, it's fine. I'm fine."
I wasn't fine. I was accruing a ridiculous amount of interest and was projected to pay it off in, oh, around 2031 🤢🤑 what the...

I've tried other systems before and always got stuck because it was over complicated. I needed simple. I created the most basic "debt visualization tracker" in excel and kept playing around with scenarios. What would my payoff be if I did this or didn't do this 😳 it was eye opening.

I kept saying to myself, "I'm like a gazelle" and would pay every extra dollar and all of my beachbody money to pay it off. Bam...7 months and I'm effin' credit card debt free! It feels amazing to say that!!

So thank you to all of my customers who believe in me as their coach. Thank you to this unfortunate pandemic that meant I no longer had to commute. And thank you to Nicole Rhodes and Andrea Ramm for reminding me that it's possible! And even if we can afford it...why?! ❤
