Great job, you two!! #repost jrosarenee

WE’RE COMPLETELY DEBT FREE‼️ $109,742.68 paid off in 43 months! NO student loans, NO car loans and NO credit card debt!
.
We started this journey back in Jan of 2016 and we’ve been working so hard for this moment. When Chris and I took the #FPU class back in 2016. We were ❤️ INSPIRED, ❤️ EXCITED and completely 💔SCARED.
.
During this time we took a big step back and asked ourselves these few questions. 🔸Were we prepared financially if there was an emergency ? 🔸Were we aware of everything we were spending? 🔸And, the biggest question of all, were we able to give FREELY to others in need and doing God’s will with our money? The answer was NO to all of these questions and that hit us hard.
.
We knew from that moment on, answering 💯 YES to these questions would be the most important thing we could do for ourselves now and more importantly for the future. We realized that we weren’t being #responsible or #mature with our #finanicalblessings and that we needed to be #selfdisplined with our finances. We realized that being self disciplined 💪🏽 was the strongest form of self love. We need to ignore wants and in the moment pleasures for a big reward at the end, that reward was the #financialpeace we now feel🙌🏽. .
🔅Living a life like no other, taught us so much about the difference between wants and needs. 🔅It made us appreciate and take better care of our possessions, blessings and everything we put our money towards. 🔅More importantly it made us realize we could accomplish anything when we put our minds to it and when we work together. It taught us #TRUELOVE ❤️in the things that cannot be bought.
.
There were some paychecks that were smaller than others but we still took so much pride in putting in an extra $10 or $15 towards debt. 💡 Because we learned that every penny counts 💰 , and we were focused on the end result and knew we were investing in our futures. NEVER once did we go without a NEED in this journey, all our needs were always met, what a #blessing this #journey was.
.
DEBT is not normal it makes you a prisoner. Proverbs 22:7
WE ARE SO PROUD TO NO LONGER BE #NORMAL, INSTEAD WE ARE #DEBTFREE!
