And I think once I started working and we had dual income, we were like, okay, now we can really make this happen and accelerate our debt-free journey.

And I think once we got to a point where we were under 100,000, we just went crazy.

People thought we were insane.

We were making massive payments every month and saying no to everything.

Yeah.

Yeah, good question.

I think we had a really good community of, you know, believers who knew the why behind what we were doing.

And I think a lot of people really admired it.

I think some people that I worked with thought I was crazy, but it was inspiring.

Once we could, you know, send out that final photo of us paying off our debt, I got hundreds of messages of people asking, like, how did you do it?

Help me.

What do you tell them?

Oh, I always give credit to you.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

I do, I do.

So the biggest principle I think that really changed everything for us was knowing where our money was going.

I think having a budget and every month tracking everything that you spend, we use every dollar.

And I used to get in the beginning of the journey, I really, I hated that end of the month meeting where we were looking at every dollar because my husband would be like, all right, what is this $10 on Amazon?

And I'm like, it's $10.

Yeah.
