During the holidays, I most definitely did consume more than two glasses of wine per week. In fact, I was drinking more than two per night, as well as some rum and eggnogs, mulled wine , and other alcoholic drinks that were wholly unnecessary for my health.

Stressed out, we ventured into Dave Ramsey’s online Financial Peace University home course for help. Prior to FPU, we thought we were doing well financially and never considered that we had too much debt. We thought we were doing really well. Well, you know how that ends…someday, we’ll travel extensively. .

We had tried other methods in the past, but found this one suited us best since it forced us to focus on one goal at a time, rather than trying to do it all (pay off debt and contribute to savings and retirement). If married, who initiated the debt free goal? The work ethic definitely hasn’t eased since becoming debt free.

Who initiated the debt free goal? He leaves most of the financial goals up to me, but we make the decisions together. On the flip side, I ate a lot of cheap food while I was paying off debt, and definitely don’t do that now. What are your financial goals now? N/A (I was single then).

It’s not necessarily fun, but definitely necessary. You will save a great deal on important and immediate items as well as important but not immediate items. Set a Savings Goal “Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.” Set personal and financial goals for your savings.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. Our business was doing very well, and we were excited about the opportunity to own a property outside of our home. We moved the goal post multiple times. Everything looked great on paper. We said NO a lot.

Our initial goal was to pay off our 15 year mortgage in 7-8 years by doubling our payment each month. People always told me “you’ll never be able to afford kids” or “there’s never a good time to have kids financially.” But I do realize some things happen that we don’t plan for as well. What are your financial goals now?
