For those of you who don’t know, my husband and I, by the grace of God, live debt free. It’s not always easy and this year has definetly thrown some challenges our way but I wouldn’t have it any other way. We started our debt free journey several years ago and have never regretted it. We now facilitate financial classes occasionally and LOVE being able to encourge others in the journey by “throwing out a rope” so to speak.
Now I know not everyone wants this or feels its what their family should do and some have decided to stop it temporarily for other things they need to take care of but for those working towards this goal the sacrifices you are making now will have a huge impact later. Success very rarely happens overnight. It’s making right or wrong decisions on a daily basis. Making bad choices over and over will cause death by 1000 cuts. Now I didn’t say it would necessarily be easy but things that are worth it usually arent. Set goals and allow yourself small rewards to help keep your momentum going. Push, push, push, be intentional and very soon, little by little you will be seeing the rewards and results of all your hard work. I know you can do it!!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with others. You’re really building a difference.
