He asked Oh, We knew a few people who spoke highly of financial peace University, and so we are We attended wine at a church a few years ago, Curtis was the one who got hooked on aid and it really got
the point where I I thought you'd moved in her house Dave. I mean your podcast was on twenty four seven home show whether we were at home in the car cleaning. Please, please read every single book I mean it was literally like you are a roommate but you're living, rent, free, so remote from Hell, though in cell, during that time of him being online with it. I actually had some debt that he did not know about who know me yeah, We we really were making much progress too, and so I had been hiding some credit card debt from my past and I thought I could handle it on my own. I thought, as my problem to deal with them in, I was embarrassed about it. So once I became on us came about it. We are able to work as a team track. What we are doing in every dollar. We are winning with it snowball. The magic really started happening fifteen months later here we are
