Family Balance Sheet

SEPTEMBER 9, 2014

We paid off over $147,000 in debt (actually way over that amount, if you want to count a $210,000 rental property that I sold at a slight loss.) About $52,000 of that $147K was consumer debt (credit cards, a student loan, a car loan, a home improvement loan, etc.) Then my husband decided to pay off his car.

We paid off $68,000 of debt in eight months. The debt included about $30,000 in student loans, some medical debt, IRS debt, and a small amount on a credit card. What inspired you to get debt free? Did you follow a particular debt freedom plan or book, such as Dave Ramsey or Debt-Proof Living?

Prior to FPU, we thought we were doing well financially and never considered that we had too much debt. We didn’t carry over credit card balances, we paid off our car notes early, and the interest rate on the student loan was at a low 2.75%. At that time, we didn’t consider all debt to be dumb.
