The time has come where we can start to count down the
months until we will finally become debt free! We had to take a little time off
during the summer because I had no source of income coming in, but we are ready
and with strong force prepared to start knocking down our last amount of debt
of $26,000. With 2 teacher incomes as well as 3 separate “part-time” jobs we
are able to live on one merely income and put the rest of it into Hubert’s last
student loan. It is going to be very exciting for us to throw $2,800 a month
into our last remaining debt with such “gazelle” intensity.
Please pray/think
of us as we are on this last home stretch of our journey. Of course our journey
will not be completely finished in June 2014, but we will be able to loosen up
our belts a bit and breathe a little easier as we work on getting an emergency
fund together and start saving for a house. God had blessed us so incredibly
much that we have never been in need or have come across an emergency. However,
if/when an emergency comes, we should be prepared for it because of the
precautions we are taking now.
Hubert and I plan on taking a celebratory cruise either
next summer or whenever the best deal is to reward ourselves of our hard work.
We even talked about possibly driving up to Nashville and letting out a “debt
free” scream in Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace Plaza where it is now streaming
online for all to watch.
We have been so encouraged by people around us and we
hope to only inspire others to move towards the goal of having financial freedom!
And that’s My Life at Current
