WE ARE DEBT FREE!!!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
rayalcantar and I used to think we were doing just fine with money and that debt was a normal part of life. We had some student loans 👩🏽‍🎓 credit cards 💳 a car payment 🚗....we were just, well...normal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What we didn’t know was how much that debt was weighing us down. When we sat down to look at the budget to buy a house 🏡 we knew that this was a far off dream with all these payments lying around. We realized that *normal* kind of sucked 👎🏼 and we were motivated to get control of our biggest wealth building tool - our income. If we didn't have all these payments going out to other people we could invest our money into things that really meant something to us. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We found out early on in this journey that personal finance is 80% behavior and only 20% head knowledge...and that the biggest obstacle to completing this goal of debt freedom would be who was staring back at us in the mirror 🙈⁣
⁣⁣
The last 24 months have been some of the hardest (it was like Financial Fitness Boot Camp 🏋🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️!!) but also some of the most humbling and strengthening for our marriage. Weekly budget meetings (and our fair share of tears and disagreements), weekly meal prep, constantly saying *no* 😢 when all our friends were having fun, a high five 🙌🏼 and kiss 😘 as rayalcantar and I would pass each other at the house between our full time jobs to our side jobs...and sooo many peanut butter🥜and jelly sandwiches 🥪 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But, you know what, it was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT 🙌🏼 to have consumer debt out of our life forever. Our future looks so promising now as we look ahead to investing in our dreams 🏡 🏝 ✈️ and being outrageously generous along the way! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As daveramsey says, “live like no one else so later you can live and give like no one else.”⁣⁣
