On April 15th, 2013 our family made our final debt payment which happened to be my undergraduate student loan. On that day we began a beautiful journey living debt free. Listen to me share my excitement in My Video Blog 12 Hours Before We Became Debt Free . Click here to see Our Family Debt Free Scream video created a few months after we paid all of our debt. We’ve enjoyed moving forward financially and building wealth for our family rather than paying financial tribute to the past. For us it started in college. We stumbled upon Dave Ramsey’s radio program on our local Christian radio station and heard call after call from people who were trapped and restrained by their debt and their financial decisions. As two single college kids who happened to be friends we were individually sold on following Dave’s principles before we ever earned a dime. We realized that starting off our marriage with a conservative risk averse financial plan would give us an advantage.
When life throws you a yield sign, slow down.
