[...] Debt is an obstacle that was keeping me from experiencing that “living life to the fullest” feeling, I was desperately seeking. It definitely took my hope, slammed it on the ground, and stomped on it tirelessly. It kept me from helping a lot of people too, and for the purpose of this argument I am referring to money. Being in debt kept me from being able to give the way I know God wants me to give. I think people have misinterpreted it to mean, “give” all your money to the banks! [...]

Thanks for the great comment, Ted (even though I just saw it 3 weeks later )! It's really true that our lifestyle has adapted to our debt-free ways, and it's simply "the way we live" now. It doesn't seem so profound when you are living it, but reading your comment really helped it hit home. Thank you.

I loved this line “Since then, our debt-free lifestyle has honestly become a routine. It just seems like the only logical way to live now, and I can’t imagine having so much of our income tied up in payments. We’re still very proud of our accomplishments and excited about what it is setting us up to do in the future.”

Just awesome. I can not wait for that feeling! I also love our you said it becomes a routine to live this way. It is tough starting out to reign in spending as I have done so naturally over the past dozen years. But now I am seeing such freedom from reigning in spending and living below our means (doesn’t help that I got a sweet raise this year too).
