We often approach goals as a chance to change. Setting a goal is our chance to finally save that money, lose that weight, or exercise more. Having a new goal is great in the beginning because there is nothing like the feelings of excitement of finally making a positive change in your life. Remember, every bit counts.

Tell us about you and your family. We realized that we wanted to travel as a family and the only thing keeping us from seeing the world was money. We have led 7 sessions of Financial Peace University mostly to keep ourselves motivated. Who initiated the debt free goal? What are your financial goals now?

I also love to visit family (all our family is between 2 and 4 hours away) and friends, bake, and play board games. Our long-term goal is to retire in our 40s, and the first step is to pay off this mortgage (in addition to recommended retirement investing). What’s the “why” behind your money-saving efforts?

Something happens mentally when you WRITE down your goals and plans for execution. To stay motivated I would listen to the debt-free screams on The Dave Ramsey Show. We celebrated both occasions with a family cruise that we paid for with cash. Once Non-Mortgage Debts are paid, cash flow a FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEY.

A lot of life happened over 7 years and our plan changed slightly, but our goal remains to achieve complete freedom from debt. Our 2019 Financial Goal. After years of scrimping and saving and not spending extra money on things, we have achieved the biggest financial goal we have ever set for ourselves in our 19 years of marriage.

Tell us about you and your family. Many of their ideas were inspiring and their stories continued to motivate me through the entire process. Who initiated the debt free goal? He leaves most of the financial goals up to me, but we make the decisions together. What are your financial goals now? Where are you from?

In my spare time, I love hanging out with family and friends, running (I have completed three half marathons) and singing in my church choir. It took me five years to pay off my debt but two of those years I had a job loss, I was taking care of my grandparents and I had lost my motivation and drive to pay off the debt.
