WOW. Powerful story! Way to go!

Dave Ramsey likes to say, “Debt is normal. Be weird.” Well, we are honored to be called weird because we are 💯% DEBT FREEEE!!! After 31 months of sacrifice, hard work and dedication we were able to pay off $95,000! We were normal with credit card debt, student loans and a car payment.

When I walked in to see my husband at the computer with his face in his hands 6 years ago I asked him what was wrong. He looked up and said in a shaky voice, “We now have $20k in JUST credit card debt.” That night we sat and cried together. Something HAD to change! So we worked our tails off for 3 years, now making ends meet but never gaining traction with our massive student loans and credit cards. May of 2015 I discovered daveramsey just after learning about Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset— SO amazing how Heavenly Father sets everything up in our lives when our hearts are ready. I read The Total Money Makeover and was ready for “gazelle intensity”, but getting my other half on board for it was a bit of an issue. Being the Financial Analyst he was, he needed a little convincing. So I dragged him to #fpu where he “knew it all” 😆 Unfortunately in the midst of our 9 week course, on November 2, 2015 we received the phone call that his Dad had suddenly passed away. He realized, while helping his Mom with the finances, how well his Dad saved and was so smart with money and how well off his Mom will be— he wanted the same for his family.

And so it began on January 1, 2016 when we as a team were gazelle intense. A few months in, he felt impressed that we should move in with his Mom to pay the debts down faster so in June we packed up our comfortable life and moved in. Here we are 2 years and 7 months later, debt free and as happy as can be to begin this clean slate!

We are so blessed to have learned about Dave Ramsey and his baby steps! It has helped us change our family tree and our kids now know that being weird is OUR new normal and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Dave!
