Hello and welcome to my blog!
My family is currently following Dave Ramsey's baby steps and we are more than 50% out of our debt snowball.
My mom had the idea that I blog about how we are getting out of debt.
Moms....they always have the best ideas, don't they?
So, here's our story...
Born and raised in Michigan - Go Blue! - my husband and I met when we were in high school. Aaron graduated from DeWitt High School class of '92 while I graduated class of '93 from Haslett High School. Our high schools were rivals; I was a cheerleader and he was a football player.
We met in church - where we were both raised from birth.
Seriously, he is the best guy ever and we have been happily married since 1994. The one area we've struggled in for years now is debt. We were the proud owners of high credit scores and many months we put paying our minimum credit card payments over our house payment - because house payments aren't really late until 15 days after their due date. I mean, everyone does that....right?
Wrong. And neither do we - anymore.
We found Dave Ramsey in the fall of 2013 and started listening to his daily show on my iPad. We attended Financial Peace University and knocked out baby step two on January 15, 2014. At that point...the snowball began.
I'll use this blog to share stories of debt and, as Dave Ramsey would say, what it's like to be weird! I'll share our "kissy face with the bank" stories as well as our backslide during the past two and a half years. (Yep, we kinda fell off for a while. We're currently in what we call Baby Step 2.1!)
Interested in hearing our story? There will be more posts to come so hang tight!
Thanks for reading!
