How Our Debt Freedom Plan Prepared Us for the Pandemic. We’d survived the dip in 2007, carried no credit card debt, and we were contributing to our retirement. This new business debt weighed on me. I decided to use Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps as a guide and I wrote our first Debt Freedom Plan.

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.

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.

While you can’t cash out all of your home’s equity, the process gives you access to a larger sum of money without needing to sell your home. You can use this money for any purpose, including home remodeling , consolidating higher-interest debt , college tuition and other financial needs. That means you have $300,000 in equity.

The business softened, renovations were more costly than expected, and we were now the owners of two mortgages, our home and our business.

My friend Jackie over at The Debt Myth has created a Pay Off Debt App which I think is very cool. She has lived the journey of being sunken in debt and then freeing herself and now she is trying to help others do the same with her new app. She is giving away an iPad mini that you can enter for here.
