Last week I began to tell you about the road to financial freedom that my husband and I are on right now. We wanted to start off on the right foot by paying cash for our wedding and honeymoon. And we did it! It felt so good to come back from our honeymoon, and not have to face how we would continue to pay for our special day. We were done with it, and could move on into our future. We were so blessed throughout our wedding planning to receive generous gifts from others, opportunities for overtime, and encouragement from each other to save rather than spend. It was hard, but it feels really, really good. Not only were we able to pay for our wedding and honeymoon, but we were able to pay off two small balance credit cards. They really weren't very big, but the feeling of crossing them off of our debt snowball was so wonderful! Now that money can be used toward the next debt we want to eliminate! A couple of weeks after our wedding, we did make the decision to finance an SUV. It was scary, but necessary. We hope to make that our last debt-creating purchase while we pay off what we have and live freely! This last week, I got to pay off another credit card!
As I continue the Money Mondays series, I hope to share what we are learning and accomplishing with our money. I am certainly no expert when it comes to money. However, I am very organized and hope to be able to offer you some tools and some encouragement if you are on the same journey!
Happy Spending this Cyber Monday! Remember to only buy what you can pay for!
