while the back of the rams regime were glad you're here america. Thank you for joining us. Sarah is ensuring that north carolina, I sorrow Welcome to the refugee issue, I think, is for having me. How are you better than I deserve. What's up. Eighty per question on the first part of my question is at what baby said you I figure out if I get term, life insurance single mom to two daughters and then the second part of that question is: is it worth at me, I'm just Does the fact that the other appearance, my daughter's father and I are no longer together america. He shook domestic violence. They don't necessarily trust for all. With life insurance and my parents don't live in the country. I am from this now that a viable option for me and what baby siberian corporate that kill? It's, not
by be shut up? It's a now every guy it does not go on a baby, insurance purchased out of your budget immediately. What baby empty put our gasoline and not a baby tat people in your budget, yeah car gasoline run your car indeed take children. If something happens to you and so I've insurances an immediate purchase for you, so who has to take care of the children. If you were to pass away their father I thought he had domestic violence issues, he still has caused, I'm due to the fact that domestic violence against began, not my children, Her encouraging! I was just you yeah. I feel so much better than me. Yeah That's sarcastic we provide gosh is the you the men they deemed him, though, in the event that our past, unfortunately
They would go to him and, as someone who has filed bankrupt, why am I doubt blast what he will do that money? Now he doesn't get the money he gets, the kids. Why look as though there is if I were to go in big business under either way you would leave. I would have been beneficiary of your life insurance, be a trust in the truck. It would be managed by a trusty which is someone you select, that you trust with money and do your wishes and the tree would say something like the chill and can have the income off of the investment. What do you make a year about four, thousand dollars in cash if you had a five hundred thousand on policy and you instructed the trust to invest that in mutual funds and it made fifty thousand dollars a year that would pledge the income that you ve created? You probably don't need that much goes hypothetically discuss actually gonna feed these children anyway. So but, let's just say,
that you did. Forty eight thousand ok shall forth thousand dollars a month if it made for them dollars a month. You could distribute that to him as child support and he gets monthly income from to take care of the children for the good. Of the children as long as he is taking care of the children the on them. goes where the kids are. So if the kids get the state comes in them because it commits domestic violence on them. Then the money just be happy when instruct the trust to keep the money and build it up for when their adult, ok that may but you don't know him. Fifty thousand dollars or five hundred thousand dollars yeah you give him monthly income to help feed the children. because he's not capable of even managing his own money. So we need to send some money over there for food. What a disaster this is not already. This is not the should not fun for me. I don't love me
the kids going over there really don't go love the idea, the kids going over there with me, but I would rather than go there with money than without my yeah. It's not then a fund for years berkshire like if, god forbid, something were to happen. I know all those insured them their bare five and seven they're pretty young. Now, I'm like that's my concern and my parents. Don't live in the united states, though I wouldn't be able to make them, like an executor or they could be, they can be a trusty link. Don't have to be a us citizen to be interesting, they can be like a man charged with the money they could be insured. Lemme tell you to leave them, as the troika led. Ok could be someone who does not live in the country. Necessarily thou in my other confirm what does it matter? Are you asked that has been ok? They don't have to build their managing money on behalf of a trust not on behalf of themselves, so
If you got a mama bear legal forms, com, you can get a watch called a family trust form. And get a will and the will says that the money and then by a life insurance policy from zander insurance and make them beneficiary of the life insurance, meaning where the money goes upon. Your death, the name of that trust, the Sarah trashed I'll call it, and it's very them the big chunk o money, whether its three four hundred thousand dollars about all it needs to be here, goes into that and then instruct your parents to invest the money as the trustees and to display a certain amount of money per month to him as child support. Ok and as if he no longer rely on entering the children, the trust no longer since the money to him. Our cap
So if he were to well, I guess this is hypothetical. We don't know. Okay, so I mean. Would your parents take the children if they could? If they could they wed. Obviously being from a different country, myself included as a bit break your eyes entertain the idea of moving back home, but I'm he would not allow, but, I think, a hypothetical. Whereas battles in a corner and they were my parents would be willing to take them sherman. stipulate a bunch of things there that, as long as they and if they end up taking care of Children, because the state takes the kids from at some point, then they would also be receiving the money from this trust and want to make sure these kids are taken care of as all we're doing here. Okay for the purpose of life insurance is to replace
care through money that you give your family, and so, if a gas making, a hundred thousand hours a year and his family is eating out of that. A million dollars in life insurance, because a million invested at making ten so it will be a hundred thousand dollars. We replaced that guy if he dies, replaced. The income these created, we replace the guy but replace them income that is creating that such him, to be able to win our ships, the kids to be able to fight Only this remaining up to be able to win financially and I'm not make more money than they were made with him here, but at least replace He was doing in your case, Sherry. She. What she was never replace what you are doing to care for these children income wise, because your ex obviously not responsible enough to send you money over there sure you're, taking care of these kids in that respect. One of the money is not responsible for their own emotions. This is
Just not a good guy, nothing. In a story that shouted exciting to me for him. I'm so sorry, sorry your face and all that but mama bear legal forms, get your will and trust in place. Zander, Insurance get three four hundred thousand dollars in life insurance is not very expenses by the cost of a pizza you can make that fit in your budget, specially You get out of debt and start to have more and more margin. Some god bless Jani. Sorry. What we all have been through over their open found here, triple eight eight to five five, two to five soil erosion. Rageous people in the world are those that are the other side of a domestic violence situation.

That's so fine, ok tell us what happened. What started this journey with pay off the house thing five years ago yesterday journey really started back in two thousand and twelve after about ten years of marriage. Unfortunately, we found ourselves in the middle of a divorce and yet and as you can imagine, it's a pretty difficult thing to go through yes how, while yet yeah so and at that point a good friend
and had recommended day a ministry that you may be familiar with called divorce care? Absolute. I went through divorce care and they teach you about things like to deal with anger and loneliness and depression and all of the fun things that go with the trained train wreck called divorce and as a part of that year and one of the segments action, Now one of the versions for financial peace talks but things like how to stay out of credit card dead and use a budget wisely and things of that sort. So the programme was exceptionally for me. It really softened my heart and so much so that, even though we were divorced and not living together at the time and in what not mention the programme to kate and she attended. You know three or four months later so and at that point we, you know after two years of being fully divorced, we got sit around and can one day that you know. How did we end up in this situation? What happened to us and what, if we had gotten a second chance in part of the
We're square in the wonderful part that ministry, which we have now been a party for the last seven years, is reconciliation, and by the grace of god and the power of Jesus Christ, we were able to reconcile and restore. Our marriage after three years of being divorced and so just been a real blessing for us. One of the non negotiable for us when we got back together was We never wanted to end up in this situation again so get, finances in order was certainly going to be a cornerstone of that of men process, so we attended financial peace universally back in twenty sixteen or seventeen as part of the reconciliation process correct to get on the same page, which is what reconcile means exactly while look at you guys. wow wada journey, so going into the regional divorce. What push
vintage of the marriage problems where money problems, money, fights, good percentage, yeah, okay, yeah! I think we were pretty normal and you know it it's enough, one cause of divorce. It certainly didn't help anything. I mean we made a lot of mistakes along the way we bought a rental property with a he lock. We, you know we used to take trips and spend you know wildly with credit cards and things of that sort. And while I would say that the money issues were not the primary cause of divorce, he certainly did not help aunts for sure and put extra stress on top of stress my brain and coming together, gave you a common language as a part of it. Reconciliation process. That is a courageous step sorry, I love you guys, you're amazing, what a fabulous life you've built a man and a healed, a healed life and life. There's a lot of healing that goes. This is it
The homeless, the should not somebody tripped backwards into this. You walked headlong into it. Yes, sir, and his bandits In a while now so we we, we got divorced in two thousand twelve and we reconcile that the end of twenty fourteen almost three years later, so we together since for nine years, remarry correct. Yes, yes, while how long were you married prior to that had a half? Ok, knowledge such offer good he'll, while, while and your kid you're with you one of their ages and pierce, our oldest is sixteen I mean our youngest is for, Look I show they were around through every better. This yes said they experienced both sides in the middle ages, the de la data, what a thing you ve done for your family tree not count the money even but just the whole thing. The healing issues, impressive, yeah it I'm really struck, you know by the ocean in, and that has to be said, rewarding to be standing here today at the finish line, knowing
you guys did were very few. People will do, which is actually try to reconcile much less actually do it. I'm curious what did the, p, you getting on the same page with money when you guys finally got back together. How did that affected communication in other areas of your marriage now that you're coming back ago, we're giving this another shot, definitely made it much better. We were far more focused. We had a common goal moving forward and that kind of bound us together and everything moving forward. Rowdy love it yeah, I would say, definitely improved our communication. So I like what you said in the in the insecure video about when you start off up with a budget you're going to be terrible at it. The first month then get a little bit better month to a little bit better month. Three- and that certainly was us and we we we met weekly basis on the nerves of the financial adviser, the family, so in other
meetings used to last an hour and a half then an hour, then forty five minutes so on and so forth. Now we can do a budget meeting about a minute two minutes or something like that so, but it really did help to improve our communication, and I would say that when we were apart or before we were apart, the first time we were married, we had separate bank accounts. We had one joint account for you, know dual bills and so forth, but then we both had separate baking health, but combining everything. Now is just really help us out tremendous interest, throwing grenades into the other account all the time while he had an hour there yeah, I'm a I'm curious to know. Did this debt free journey have a tangible effect on you all making more money? I think without a doubt I mean I think
we didn't have peace and a lot of ways prior to getting divorced and now say that you know we certainly don't fight about money. We don't fight about. You know anything like that anymore. So now we're on a different. It's a different level of communication and understanding and relationship. Indeed, yeah. It's a whole different whole different setup but do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You guys are impressive. I love it. the alas wow what a fabulous story outbreak kiddos up, they need to be in the debt free scream. The they're gonna be enjoying this in the end result of this journey anyway, so excellent work. It got they live and give box for you.

And owns a smaller, be part, and he recently asked me to use my buying power to buy another point. body to mimic the army. Did he on sub, but on a larger scale? So I recently made an offer of home and put our money down, but I've just kind of rethinking the whole thing. I just wanted to get your opinion on that, the home the whole and property- we are partly thing- is limited to ninety five. We paid to ninety five or not. the home, is where the second rv park is going to be. Yes, okay, I am I'm a little bit confused. I he he can't afford to buy their army park. So he wants you to buy one for him well, he knows that my buying power is capable of buying a bigger piece of land. Can she doesn't have a job anymore he's regard, so he knows that, as far as by
Our argument not buying power, borrowing, power, right, ok, right borrowing Ours is bigger anyway, so we could get a bigger property and the imf, it's been overall would end up paying whore yeah but that would be yours not his correct, corrects the terms he was to say, as he puts the initial infrastructure and to get it I am very good at making money and paying for the the mortgage of the property and we would spit any split any profits above the mortgage, other property. Fifty fifty. Ok, are you interested in doing this, or do you feel obligated to consider it? Because it's your dad? I I'm interested. I think that the properties beautiful they I've I've frequently hung on it
the rv park, they one and it's a really nice lifestyle, really good people that you meet. You get plenty of opportunity to spread the word and to to lots of different people, and I think that the security that the cash flow brings and just just brings the fact that if I broke my leg at work, I wouldn't My children, one star, salem, you're married. Yes, what does your wife's about all this I'll be honest. She is willing to follow me until whatever I get us into so I I don't think she would boy city, then, as she disagreed with it, but so far she seems like she's down to follow me wherever I go. If you break your leg at work, his aren't gonna starve, and then your language follow me into this. I think, is a pretty good indicator of how you see this right. I don't think you
I think this is a good as idea as your dad does your she risk. He doesn't see. Yeah I see it. I see a pain That is a little higher than I can currently afford, not much higher than I board, but I think it is higher than the board and unless my dad is willing to immediately come in and boring where the money and we get renders- and they are quick to worry, that the cash flow is coming out of your problem in it. But if Man, if we get out there and there's no renters, then we're aware of the problem you know now and the infrastructure could be almost as expensive as the property in your dad done over money. Well, he as he does have, he has enough to lay the infrastructure and I'm a plumber, and we have like curtains, the the families we do. The work work ourselves we ve put in who are these bought a weekend and then
and on the very next week for four hundred and fifty dollars a bot. So I have no doubt that for thirty five forty thousand dollars we could lay the infrastructure for ten to fifteen thought. Okay, so now you're, partners with your dad on a piece of property that your home is on and also contains. business that you're in a partnership with your dad. He does. Have the money to do all this, but he has the money to put up a little bit of money for some plumbing roma Ariel Sharon.

Once we met and go married were dislike, leavin, the laugh and an covert head and he had his own business and lost the business during covered. The bats. When we were like, we lost almost every thing, and that was when
like hey, maybe we should follow the essen and that's kind of how god, on their the plan, was when we lost everything cause The thing was going fine.

Congratulations are at night been through Helen back? What do you tell people the key to getting out of debt is, I think, like one in communication, we like we listened to the podcast every single day for a couple of hours a day and would constantly dream of what things would be like once we pay everything off and- and you know, we we, he lost his income. We were only on my income.
So we basically were like we gotta live everything's gotta be with in my income. So then, when he did get a job and all his income is what helped us pay it off within three years cause we could live on. One income In short, you should give way to get got your life's, not weigh down yeah and we ve sacrificed a lot like it's not like. We were living, the last stole it wise. We sacrificed allied gave up alight and- tough three years by worth, energy and intentionally was huge. You know just being able to speak about everything and have a plan, and no, this is a season that I'd be along season by it would be. You know it end sooner than later, if we just kept to the plan and so I think at one time I had seven. Obstacles diamond. I was doing anything that someone would pay me to do.
mean almost anything anything. Morally. Yes, yes, and so we just stuck to the plan and we know always communicated and even in the hard times we together, you know understand where we were in that journey in visualize, where we were going in We finished sweating await ways sooner than we thought we would result like perry, you are working a whole lot, that's a big sacrifice, but nicole- and you are talking about a lot- you extended that now. So I'm curious what were some of the toughest sacrifices that you guys made so one of our big data wise, we did Van life our little bad, so we bought a sprinter van if our backhoe, mercedes, sprinter and and flip that so we had to that- was that what what kick started it we were like. We have to sell it like a now is like a big sacrifice. Was a good got paunch it
oh look, we're living was amazing, laugh and then to then be like it's gone and we made that sacrificed salad. So that was a big chunk that helped us a lot and then yes, we did and eat out. We didn't do anything. There were times I got invited to my friends, bachelor read and I was like I'm I'm sorry! I I can't afford it, and I have such amazing friends there will I come. It's ok! Well, we'll cover you like. We want you they're so like that was amazing as well, but humbling yeah, but we had to say oh and I think we ve come the annoying people that say loads every megan or two. You ve gotten whatever that now, when it sunk into when things were so, to turn around and when we are in the van you know you have cheap utensil and cheap things to cooking we literally never even bought a new spatula. We are using this broken plastic spatula that couldn't yearnings up and
we went to target one day and bought a spatula and ooh yeah drinking glasses were when we would get spaghetti sauce. We had rented with drinking glasses. So when people came out, we were like sorry, we don't have glasses and we hope he will be come on guys. You can buy plates cause. We only had like four and he had dropped a few and- and they were like, come on for trouble for that harry that the sacrifice of scary drop and you can afford. Then you can get plates like we yeah. We could but then attack, but then we could get this as well, and this as well so we're just like were were sacrificed a lot even for our, and we have a- baby boy at wise. You know he would go again. We only had like three or four offered them like sorry, we oughta be laundry like for you, don't have anything. I could we about. We sacrifice a lot about senses, while also you'll never know how
you know Dave as a whole. Lot of knows there that are going to lead them to a pretty big. Yes, here just a moment, and I think that's a great lesson. You guys are also convey relations were honoured to have beyond the team and honour to have his family. bashir and absolutely incredible. We got the baby steps millionaires book for you, the total money make overbooking, financial peace, university ship as well. You'll have all those things when you're here anyway, but you can give him away and your sons, age and name levi unease, forty he is clearly he's a baby commercial, perhaps point out he's gotta, very clean out by laundering that freshly laundered after that, perry.

I recently changed jobs for a pay increase to get us through baby step. Two, it's the same role at a new company. My previous employer said that they could not make me counter offer. But last week I heard from a coworker at the company that they may reach out to me to see. If I would come they may try to imagine new salary or maybe even increase it. I was wondering if this is a risky move, I'm concerned that I might be a target if there are lay off since I jumped ship. I enjoyed working with my old team but left for the large hey increase almost fifty percent is.
Concern rational. If so, what can I do to lessen the risk? Well, there's a whole lot of maize and may bees- and I heard this you know I came from a coworker, sir until the old company contacts you back Alex. This is all speculation. Let's start there, but if where to contact you and you had this- I think it's a legit concern, because you know if someone left me. If I was the owner of a company in someone left me, I would be worried that they would leave me again and that's that's. You know a reasonable worry. You left for a big pay increase it, but it, but I would just bring it up to if this happy, and there's a whole lot of may bees in this, and so, if they call you back, they want you back You can explain, hey I left. I need the money. I was paying off debt very reasonable explanation and in their reprocessed to say, hey have I created some concern for you. Do you think I'm loyal like I bring it up in the interview and look em, I bought eyeball and allow
to address it. You know address itself in the room and if they go, there's no elephant, then than fine, but I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you know they say but they ve got concerns about you leave him again now interested know your thoughts on that, because you know people leave where a large company, any company has people move in a move out. What's your take on that, if they wouldn't match the salary before you left, fact that are coming back now and doing it makes me not want to work for them. She wouldn't go back. and we have a real at ramsay our rule. Is we almost never rehire because in the times we have rehired in our world or not on a hot. overworked world when a low turn over world, I gotta friendless and arrest doesn't she requires all the time, but I have a hundred twenty five percent turn over a year, so they re our people, then, on the other they work. Seven different places, no cycle back around it,
but that's a different world issues, a low turnover world, a man and what we found over there years of running ramsay is the reason that someone left the first time will be the same reason they leave the second time, and so I agree the think. That's you! How shall we dont rehire, except in very rare circumstances? So Ninety nine percent of the time it's no. I think I have two people out of a thousand that are on their second round here at this moment. If our right, I can name one upmanship, there's another one in the back of my head somewhere but on, and we actually call that guy unicorn yahoo because he's pretty rare, usually he's a fabulous team. That's right show but his nickname around here is that for that very reason, because it unusual for us to rehire- and so anyway, but also, I would reverse that in your case and say very reason that they didn't take care of you before you left is there
you dont want to return. You know they didn't step up. They yet wait until you're gone and then there like wooo, I guess because you're right you're, the first one back out the door when you get back over there you're in a tenuous shutting, I wouldn't go back. I think your other add your decision, you moved on got a fifty percent pay, raise at stake, failure and just say thanks guys. I appreciate it. That's nice! I wish we'd had this discussion before, but we didn't and I'm not cool. You know they make the offer the spot. Then that's different yeah, a lot of speculation in this too, and I think he needs to be focused on the nail where he is and let's move forward young. Would you make a good piano quit jumping around on every penny, despite those at at fifty percents? Not a penny, but if they're going to just match what you did and you're going to go back, you know now: yeah I mean if they want to give you a fifty some of what you got now we'll have to talk about it.

My co host today open phones, a triple eight, eight to five five, two to five. dane is in denver, hide, dane welcome the rams issue. He welcomed me yeah. I guess I've always wanted to say this. How are you doing this strategy? better than I deserve. What's our man, hey are you has ever quickly question openly
I'm looking to make a lateral move and housing from one house to another. I currently own my home there with it and I'm looking to make a m flight move, not not too far away, and I'm I see it as two different options that I have I'm trying to avoid: getting another mortgage out, I'm trying and avoid moving intervention. temporarily, and I'm trying to avoid storing all my stuff I'd like to just go from one house to the other. I'm I see it as I can do a sale on contingency or what about these? We buy your house or services they need a scam or not whether or not a scam and butter buying the home to resell it at a profit, which means they have to buy it from you at below retail right. Yeah the money that I would lose on, that would probably paper
the rental for how do you know what I've done a little? Are we search? I know renting is extremely. I hear and I do work with a lot of appraisers in the line of work that I do on the land. Surveyor I mean all of this is all of this is assuming that you think you know what they're going to offer you correct, correct and I've actually reached out just know you can fill out those forms, email, kind of forms and I'm none of them have responded with number which kind of shocking me a little weird yeah, exactly it's, because they don't want to scare you to death. They want you to sell the house, but dude I it usually eighty cents on the dollar, seventy cents on the dollar awhile It's not a small. It's not like two thousand dollar discounter, something I mean a lot here: you're, not so desperate or you
No, I'm not! I don't do it, don't just don't do it, here's what you need to do. You just need to be patient and do a contingency sale. Ok, let's see I like that, I'm not gonna, do it otherwise! Ok, I saw my personal residence when everything peaked out two years ago, because it was a real killer opportunity to go. out of the house and I but we shoulda and delayed possession by four months ago, And I was four months to get the other house purchased and moved into an, but that you know well: did you take out into a discount? I just refused to show are the wash show you're gonna, referring to show your home out from under you. you're gonna, show it some kind of terms that allow you to make a one move.
and then the person I'm buying it from they also have to agree to this. To me, but what I would do start shopping the area that you think you ought to be an answer. I could live there there. There if you want to make an offer on one of a contingent upon the sale of yours, fine, typically, what most our do. There's differences in different markets is generally culturally, except the state community, for some reason, decides it and culturally and a market, but most the time you have like a seventy two, our first rather refusal. So if the seller other property that you want to buy accepted a contingency offer from you. You'll be content upon the sale of yours and they keep, there's on the market if they get another buyer of seventy two hours to say I'll, buy it anyway and you would do that you would let him go right. Yeah, ok you're right. I do have time on my site, I'm a wash and saw it,
until the right deal comes together and the right timing for you too, by the who, that you want and move time with a sigh of yours on contingency shale- you just don't do it I won't say, won't take a contingency contract. Okay, combat, oh yeah, yeah. Alright, I like this idea and I can do stuff just take my time. It's all out of convenience. It's got a new, hold down the street, and just what you do, I'm gonna carefully locked the dominoes up, so that when I push them, they all fall in may beautiful design, my life and Indeed I wish there were totally get free.

What happened five and a half years ago you grad school, got married and went oh, my god yeah. So what's funny is, and my parents put my brother and I through financial peace university in highschool, so I had the knowledge going into, but we really didn't discuss finances until premarital, and I really As we were not on the same pay, If I had a few of my back pocket scott deny and he was and so when we got married he came Instead, I want to watch tv, I knew we couldn't afford it and actually went my dad, they said Why do I he wants if I don't agree in here is like look tell him.

It is all about bribing. Yes, he agreed, and by these second class he with hucks no tv. Individually to regos part about. Will you and I will have a car. I went to be honest. I was very sceptical. I was not a board initially, even after the first class of a few hours ago, will see like let's see how this plays out and then the second class. Everyone had a total up their debt that they had. The added it together the class and with my wife grass, Might I clutching my hand, I realize we, Ninety percent of our clauses that- and so we need to make it
it's a little so that hooked you yeah, I was like Okay group, shaming yeah, it's like how is this possible like what oh, we got a lot and we got almost all of a relationship question on this, given how this has been set up. So when you realize that- and you go it's done like how quickly do you tell or is it on the way out? Is it in the car on the is it was in the class? it was in the car. It was day was like continuous conversation afterwards, I'm in that. So when you flip the switch, you flip the switch. I was all in after that. Those of us that are cynical. I'm the same way. I have the gift of cynicism, I'm either all in or I'm all out and show once I'm out I'm out and once I'm in I'm in it and it's it's game on. There's no issue It's how think you're either think you're shown snake oil or this sanctions like bread and once I started
crunching, the numbers I was like I'm in I'm in. Let's do this supposed to us at the game on game on: let's go win the superbowl. So five, then I years later, you plowed the your student lounge. this?

Thousand dollar story here now, but you got they wouldn't really your first order of business and the marriage right after a tv. yeah. I guess the t v came in handy cause.

That's got a big all polish student loans in their facing it for sunday position
He has a weak honestly. We can joke around about it, but it's it's a scary weak for a lot of people cause Having that realisation? That Biden is not coming, and they're going to have to do this themselves. They signed up for it and I don't have to pay it with grew whether or not done matter that your reality and folks are scared. And other confused are overwhelmed? Had me, that's a big old mountain manner Three hundred and seventy eight thousand, you the amount you write that down you'll have an oh crap moment. So, what's your advice to somebody sitting where you were sitting five and a half years ago, I think, for it's just? Having open communication about finances just being able to Dear spouse, and just say you know, I'd like this is what I need it was what's important to me. This is what we need to start thinking about it. Just having dialogue and being on the same page, what helped us tremendously to be on the same age as having a monthly, budget meeting. We sit down every single month. We go through our finances. We go through everything that expected potentially coming up and were able to work through it.
for me funny data was talking about it last week, actually is celebrating the small wins. I know that the life cycle of getting out of debts only supposed to be twenty four to forty eight months and ours five and a half years, and it's a long time to be under that amount of stress, and we tried to take every opportunity we could to just celebrate the small whence we made an answer, grand page with our dog and we wish, for our pay off for the month and his kivo, and he would then eat it? We'd phelim eating it named in the debt free dude cause he's a dude. Also we ass yet and scott was always really great about just finding. A little surprises to celebrate when we got under a hundred k. He set up this fair game show and our back yard, with lights, and I
fake money to throw a baseball to break the paper to see what our new balance, what it was is very. Allow only had photos of it by just celebrating that stuff, because its heart You see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you aren't celebrating, ok, roquat, that's, brilliant and and because I've read about there's a lot of research on game of fine goals and that's what you guys did. It really did help you get through each new hurdle. because the brain goes out. We have something to look for or two in the midst of all the stronger, that's really brilliant. I love we had. Eight different loans, eight different student loans as ever single time, one we were able to pay off and it was little gaelic- were down one. We only have five left. Ok, we have four left and so on, and so I think it helped a lot and lasting for anyone fighting that large of a mountain of debt give yourself grace
it is easy to get upset if you have a slower month or you feel like you're, not moving as fast as you, can and just know that you're not going backwards. You keep going forward. when you see the way you guys we're here? How do you feel so many known We got the total money make over both the baby steps, millionaires book and the financial pressure versed in membership.
