First, I've gotta say, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!"
Second, I'm gonna link some previous posts I've shared about our money story:
Honestly, I can't believe it! We are officially debt free as of August 8, 2019! You know, it kinda scares me - I don't know if I'm afraid that we'll fall back into it {which we promised each other we would never add any new debt (other than a house) into our marriage} or it's just the devil trying to steal my joy, but I got to get myself in check here. We are debt free & it is all thanks to our gracious Lord providing & I should be dancing on the rooftops over it. We have worked so hard {4 yard sales in less than 3 years, working jobs that have been downright hard, & choosing to say "no" to many things}, & even though my tough perfectionist mentality always said inwardly {& often outwardly} we could always be doing more, we are surprised we got here as fast as we did. Praise God!!!
We used the debt snowball method {you can find more about that in the 1st link above}, & the small little old snowball that just wasn't much at all at first kept rolling & picking up more snow & growing... sometimes fast & downhill & other times slow & uphill. Working together as a couple over it has strengthened us & showed us in a very tangible way how we are stronger together. What Dan felt was years & years from reach on his own, we were able to accomplish in about a month before we celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary this September.
To those of you still on the debt free journey, keep on keeping on. By the grace of God, you can make it! Dan & I are living proof.
Let me know in the comments if you have any money / debt related questions. We'd love to hear from you!
