Well, we actually got married seven years ago, seven and a half years ago.
And so we were about to embark upon building this house.
And so, and we had kind of, I had gone to FPU years ago.
I kind of dabbled in the baby steps, but never really was aligned in that marriage.
Just kind of struggled the whole way through it.
When we got together, we just committed from day one that this is what we're going to do.
I think the hardest part is just choosing to live different.
Everyone around you is doing all the things, eating out, doing all the things.
We ate out on Tuesday night when tacos were $1.25.
That's the only time we ever ate out.
You know, we packed our lunch every day.
We bought our clothes at thrift stores and on eBay.
We sold things we didn't use.
We just chose to live differently.
No, we actually wound up at the end, we were paying $5,500 a month every month on the house.
Everything.
We didn't let up.
Once we got the savings in place.
