How did George and Whitney Kamel meet?
Thank you to time for learning for sponsoring this portion of today's episode Schooling is one of the most important decisions you make for your children And i'm really excited about the option time for learning We are coming to that point where our kids are getting ready to enter pre-k and there's all these decisions to make and I Love that we're in this day and age where there are so many options, but i'm also very overwhelmed by it But i'm really excited about time for learning because they have everything you need to teach pre-k through 12th grade at home But with all the core and elective classes offered in a traditional brick and mortar school I love that option because you get the structure that you would like with a traditional school format, but with a personalized, intimate setting of homeschooling.
And that's because Time for Learning believes in harnessing the flexibility of homeschool to help families explore passions, travel, and hobbies without the constraints of traditional school hours. It can also be used for more than homeschooling. It is also used for school or summer learning to address learning gaps or maintain skills. It was created by experts for parents with over 1 million students served. Time for Learning is also super user-friendly. It can go on your computer or on your phone and they have really easy to read calendars for the day or the month. It also has a progress bar so you can see where your kids are at, what they've completed and what they still have yet to do. I think it's a really, really great options for families that are looking for that flexibility and that nuance in their child's education.
So if you're also curious if Time for Learning is right for your family, visit timeforlearning.com. That's time, number four, learning.com to explore their curriculum and find the perfect plan for your student.
What are the Ramsey Solutions Baby Steps?
You can get started with a monthly subscription to see just how much your kids enjoy learning on their own terms. I think you should be able to go in debt for Disney to take your kids to Disney. Oh, my God. I didn't know I was talking to a Disney adult. No, you are. I think that's the reason she had me on was to confront me. The reason people get divorced over money is because someone was hiding something. Someone was controlling something. If you have total transparency, you have a shared bank account, it is so much harder to screw this up. Most people can knock out their consumer debt in 18 to 24 months if they get intense. No saving, no investing, no vacations. But what if I want to go on vacation? Well, you pay so much to live in your house.
How did George and Whitney pay off their debt?
So just think about it that way and treat it like a hotel. Okay. Today on Unplanned, we sat down with George Camel and his wife Whitney to talk about money. I know, that's probably just made you uncomfortable saying that out loud, but I think it's really important that we talk about it. Through the Dave Ramsey baby steps, George and Whitney were able to pay off all their debt, including their house, and reach millionaire status by age 32. We talk about why you should cut up your credit cards, why so many Americans are broke, and why you shouldn't have a car payment, all on today's episode. What's up, dudes? And welcome back to Unplanned. Yay. Sorry, I'm losing my voice right now. But today we're with George and Whitney Campbell.
He was yelling at us right before this. You guys don't know. Excuse me.
What sacrifices are necessary to become debt-free?
George and Whitney Campbell, welcome to Unplanned. It's an honor to be here. This is so fun. You know what? I have some vocal spray. This came on all of a sudden. I do. Honestly, I think this coffee right here and just this warm, fuzzy conversation we're about to have is the medicine that I need. I'll have Kara grab it in case. It's in the side pocket of my bag in there. It's called Entertainer's Secret. No way. Are you a singer, George? Do you sing? That was my past life. He has a Spotify album. We need to look it up after this. I don't know how to delete my album off of Spotify. Don't delete it. I have music on Spotify, too.
