And we were at the point where we were putting away about 40% of
of like a total or bring home every month.
And we had a really nice nest egg built up at the end of that.
And that was of course, before the children came.
Once we started having kids, we actually wanted to move back to Michigan, which is where we're both from.
we're in Virginia right now and just the move.
And like, we went down to only one of us was working and things that made sense on paper, but then, you know, you like life happens and we bought a house that we thought was going to be our forever home, but it needed some renovations that we really hadn't budgeted in.
And we were used to living on an income where we were stocking away 40% every month.
Right.
So we could go out to eat whenever we wanted and,
completely changing our lives to then only having one income.
It was a huge wake up call.
And I don't, it took us a while to get with the program, but we kind of got to the point where we had burned through that whole nest egg and we're like racking up all of our credit cards again.
And you, you get to that point and you're just like,
I knew all the right things to do.
Like we clawed our way out of this.
How in the world did we get here again?
And it's so insidious how it sneaks up on you.
But yes, we got big into debt again.
And we actually ended up moving back down to Virginia and we put a plan in place and just kept working the plan.
