The Path To Debt Freedom! (My journey illustrated)
(updated)
NORMAL looks like this! (Borrow NOW, CRY later!)
>>>
“When do I get paid again?” (The cycle of cycles!)
>>> 
Instead of chasing it, I just tell it what to do!
>>> 
Never again! (Cash only!)
Big T.V’s are nice, but not as nice as being debt free!
(Put the $600 towards my Emergency Fund)
>>> 
Sold the left ($8,500) and bought the right ($500)!
(Savings- $375/month)
Gazelle TIME!!! (Determination has never been more intense!)
TO 
Saving has become a way of life! ($5,500 EF)
Aaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
We’re Debt Free!!!
FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!
I am no one special, JUST LIKE YOU! I was normal, JUST LIKE YOU! I used credit cards, JUST LIKE YOU! I avoided a budget, JUST LIKE YOU! I had to have a car payment, JUST LIKE YOU! I “deserved” this and “needed” that, JUST LIKE YOU! I had no savings, JUST LIKE YOU! I was also broke, JUST LIKE YOU!
Times have changed!
Now it’s time you take control of your money, JUST LIKE ME! If I can do it so can you! What are you waiting for?
My dearest Brad it all makes sense and sounds great but its harder for some people you know who anyway i love it its great
You are right, it is hard to change the behavior that causes these problems, but it is way worth the sacrifice.
DON’T GIVE UP! It works every time!
Thanks for stopping by!
Brad,
I’ve been watching yours and DR MTMM for a while now. I want this so bad, to feel the weight lifted from me and my family of this debt. I’m currently in counseling for my issues and marriage. I fell into the pit of not telling my wife of the mess I was getting into, now it’s all coming out and all I can do is be truthful now. If you’ve got any advice, i’ll take any. Thanks for the great message.
One way we’ve found that helps is to keep your finances top of mind: monthly budget meetings (how are we doing?), planned meals, etc. We also created a game, so instead of playing something to pass the time, you can keep your finance skills sharp! I’m Debt Free Game
Thanks for the comment Glenn, and especially thanks for letting me know about this game! 😀
You probably spotted a sucker from a mile away. ME! I bought the game and can’t wait to get it. 🙂
