In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. As part of his baby steps, he does not advocate contributing to retirement until after you’ve paid off non-mortgage debts and saved 3-6 months of expenses in an emergency fund. We drive older cars.

Our house was $150,000 (thank you Texas for affordable houses) and the thought of paying over half a million dollars for it (due to interest) made us sick to our stomach.
