Welcome to Debt Free Stories! They paid off $36,000 in debt and cash flowed graduate school. With tuition payments and debt payments we spent about $60,395 between January 2012 and March 2014 when we became completely debt free with two bachelor’s and two master’s degrees between us.

And 2015 is no different. Most of them are related to our small business, my husband’s chiropractic office, but last January I got a bee in my bonnet about debt…thank you, Dave Ramsey.

Today’s Debt Free Story is from Shannon. As many students do these days, we had tens of thousands of dollars of debt by the time we graduated with our Masters degrees.

While we made considerable headway in 2015 with reducing our debts, we missed our goal of paying off a loan by the end of the year. So in 2016, I will continue to share our journey to pay off our debt. And to stay motivated, I want to continue to share the successes of others with more Debt Free Stories.
