Today’s Debt Free Story is from Ruth. I’ve always been a total brown thumb but I am determined to finally figure out how to grow things. How much debt did you pay off? What kind of debt was it? What inspired you to get debt free? If married, who initiated the debt free goal?

So, build your bridge; plan to be financially secure, whatever that means to you. When I found a new way, I bought a small treat and then put the rest into my growing savings account. It might be hard, it might even hurt, but this short-term pain is nothing when compared to the fabulous future you can have. Gee, it mounts up quickly!”

Today’s Debt Free Story is from Carrie. It took just over a year (14 months to be exact) before I paid off all my debts and became debt free! I was only bringing home a net income of $3,000 a month, so paying $1,000 each month towards my debt was a lot of money, and took a lot of sacrificing.
