So we're both nurses by trade, but I transitioned actually into the medical device industry shortly after my nursing career.

It's going well.

Yeah.

We did in the middle there, we did a travel assignment together.

So that really took care of the grand majority of that debt.

But yeah, we worked our butts off.

Yeah, so in the beginning of marriage, we went through a lot of premarital counseling.

And we knew that one of the biggest reasons why people get divorced is money problems.

And so we definitely started dabbling in your content.

We watched a lot of YouTube, a lot of podcasts.

And we had good mentors in our church.

We met at church, so we had really good relationships.

And I think at some point in the beginning of our marriage, I was still in school.

And so we were living on a very small amount of income at that time.

It was just Cameron's income.

And so we kind of dabbled in paying off our debt, but we didn't get really serious until about, you know, eight, nine months in.

And then like once we got into it, it was so overwhelming for us because we had such a big number.

And I don't even really think we factored our cars in at that point.

We were just looking at the student loans, like how did we rack up?

almost 200 grand in student loan debt and looking at the interest we were like if we don't pay this off now we're gonna pay double what it is yeah um and it really was my husband that led the charge on it i'm i'm the spender he's the saver um but i'm also the risk taker so i think i think we make a good pair yeah so what what caused you to be able to kind of double down and say all right this ramsay process we're going to use it when when did that really kick into gear yeah i would say um
