We have already set up a pretty nice life together, and have made some pretty big financial commitments jointly. We bought a house in 2012; we both have fulfilling careers and we have two little dogs that we consider fur babies. Despite our intertwined lives financially, we hadn’t combined finances up until recently.

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. What are your financial goals for 2018 and beyond?

We bought into the myth that student loan debt is “good debt” and that it was better to “invest” in buying a home instead. Luckily, even without misguided financial beliefs, we did pay off a significant portion of our debt before having kids. At the time I had a 1 1/2 year old and another baby on the way.

Daniel can work anywhere there is an internet connection and the kids can homeschool anywhere, but we didn’t have the money to buy the plane tickets or book AirBnB apartments. We followed Dave Ramsey’s baby steps. We have led 7 sessions of Financial Peace University mostly to keep ourselves motivated.

We also listed to The Dave Ramsey Show every day for daily motivation while we worked the baby steps. Baby furniture, BBQ pits, tools, guns… EVERYTHING. We stopped buying stuff. We stopped buying things until we absolutely needed to. If married, who initiated the debt free goal? We sold EVERYTHING!

The fear of losing my baby led to the desire for me to be a stay at home mom, but I knew that would never work if we were in such debt. We started listening to Dave Ramsey and followed his baby steps pretty closely. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need even if it seems like a great deal. Who initiated the debt free goal?

We obviously love Dave Ramsey and financial teachings so we help to teach those classes at our church one night a week. It’s been busy with the babies and so much work/income that hobbies lately have been sleeping (if we can) and traveling. Farrah would say “lets buy new couches” or “I want the car payment done by October”.
