Welcome to Debt Free Stories. What inspired you to get debt free? When my wife and I got married, we both made the decision that our first financial priority would be becoming debt free. Did you follow a particular debt freedom plan or book, such as Dave Ramsey or Debt-Proof Living?

Advantages of Paying Off Debt From a purely financial point of view, it makes more sense to focus on debt payoff rather than directing available cash to a savings account.

Today’s debt free story is from Aja. What inspired you to get debt free? We realized that debt payments were eating into our income and potential to build wealth. It would be hard to have the laid back life we envisioned with both of us working frantically just to pay bills (mostly made of debt.)
