Matt: no

me: just testing you [wink]
Matt: i know
NEVER want to be in that credit card game ever again.. been there done that bad world
we are blessed to have crawled out from under it
most people don’t
blessed to have been given the insight to be aware of what we were doing and to make the decisions to reverse it
couldn’t have done that alone.. we were a team, granted you did a lot of stuff but it only works when both agree on it.

We’re Debt Free!

Without going into many details, because I am not a personal finance blogger, my family is now debt free but our home. We own everything in it and the cars we drive. This is the first time in my adult life I have not had any debt and it feels just wonderful. We’re closing the last credit card account tonight.
With the help of Dave Ramsey and the No Credit Needed Network, we paid off over $70K in 19 months!!
Living in Debt
Living in debt is nerve-wracking, insomnia-producing, and family-wrecking. Just don’t do it. There is nothing you can buy that feels as good as being in debt feels bad.
