Our Debt Freedom Plan has been a long winding road. The journey started in 2012 when we bought an office building for our business and then found ourselves with a lot of debt and not enough cash flow. To ease my anxiety about our new loans, we took the Financial Peace University home course and it changed how we thought about debt.

Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. My second prayer is that my family gets through this crisis financially. We paid off our last non-mortgage debt in September and have since sent that loan’s monthly payment to our mortgage principal.

I’m sure you’ve heard: household debt is on the rise and consumerism is everywhere. Between credit card offers in the mail promising great rewards and the ability to borrow money for next to nothing, debt can be enticing. My experiences with debt have been 100% negative. Debt does much more damage than good, however.

Prior to FPU, we thought we were doing well financially and never considered that we had too much debt. We didn’t have credit card debt, we paid off our car notes early, and the interest rate on the student loan was at a low 2.75%, so we thought we were doing okay. But Dave Ramsey’s view of debt is very different.

Are you ready to crush debt this year? We’re going to give it everything we’ve got and hopefully pay off the last of our non-mortgage debt by the end of this year. It will be quite a feat because by my calculations we’ll be short each month if we just apply our debt snowball payment. Stretch yourself.
