Welcome to Debt Free Stories! 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. What inspired you to get debt free? Who initiated the debt free goal?

Risk-free shopping! Nicole’s take: CVS is my favorite drugstore for sure and I was so excited when they asked me to share what my beauty resolution for 2015 is! There are so many great products at CVS to help me achieve my goal – from the Nuance Salma Hayek line to CVS brand – they have it all!

We have new financial goals for this year. 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. And to stay motivated, I want to continue to share the successes of others with more Debt Free Stories. What are your financial goals for 2016?

Did you make 2018 financial goals ? My husband and I discussed some ideas over our holiday break and we decided on 2 solid must-achieve financial goals for the year. If we complete them early, we’ll move on to 2 additional goals that are on our radar. Our 2 Main Financial Goals for 2018: 1 – Finish the will.

A lot of life happened over 7 years and our plan changed slightly, but our goal remains to achieve complete freedom from debt. Our 2019 Financial Goal. After years of scrimping and saving and not spending extra money on things, we have achieved the biggest financial goal we have ever set for ourselves in our 19 years of marriage.

Becoming debt-free became very appealing and the idea of being able to give more, save more, and live more was the direction we wanted to go. Something happens mentally when you WRITE down your goals and plans for execution. To stay motivated I would listen to the debt-free screams on The Dave Ramsey Show. Pay Off Mortgage Debt.

Before kids, I spent my free-time volunteering at a stray rescue shelter for dogs. As our family and household income grew, my husband and I made it a goal to put more money aside for emergencies, retirement, college, home improvements, etc. This doesn’t include the many free in-library activities we’ve enjoyed over the years.

The topic came to me when I realized that my husband and I haven’t really talked about our future financial goals in awhile. We talked about our 2018 financial goals back in late December, but we didn’t look past the current year. I created this collage back in 2015 for a sponsored post and it is mostly still accurate.
