Even my 13 year old, he scoops dog poop because he needs money to spend and he knows he's not going to get it for free from us.

um you know i just kind of felt like i was just hanging on you know i was trying to pay the bills and all these credit cards some were teeny some were big but i was it was like it was just treading water and and trying to hang on to this lifeboat to get us through and um so it was hard it was really hard you know in our marriage we struggled in our marriage because of that because there were arguments about money he didn't really understand the finances because i was in charge of it and

And I was trying to hold onto it really tight because I was afraid.

So when we became this team, this partnership, and the communication opened up, and we developed this trust about our money, and we were making these decisions together.

So not only are we financially free, but our marriage is stronger than it ever has been.

Yes.

Isn't it wild?

It is wild.

And it's hard.

I mean, we have these habits where we hold things really tight.

The budget, it's...

Like we have a lot of conversations about that.

Like, you know, you can buy that $6 coffee, Laura.

It's okay.

I don't know what it was the other day.
