Congratulations on taking action and killing your debt...you definitely won't regret it. As for extra jobs, in my case I actually just worked a lot more at my current job. At the time (but not right now), we basically had the opportunity to work as much overtime as we wanted and I worked a lot. I also had a side gig where I bought golf clubs locally and resold them on Ebay for a profit. As far as budgeting software goes, please check out this recent post over at my site at Engaged Marriage for lots of details! http://www.engagedmarriage.com/finances-careers/you-need-a-budget-money-management-for-a-happy-marriage I look forward to talking with you more about your journey! :) That’s awesome, Kay!

My husband and I are working on a plan to get out of debt -never to return. We are very motivated. I would be interested to hear the specific jobs/efforts you made to make the extra money to decrease your debt. Also, did you have a paper/pencil approach to budgeting or did you use a specific computer program? Thanks for your great blog - it is appreciated.

Living debt free has been an amazing blessing to my young marriage and one that we're both thankful for daily. The communication and trust built through budgeting and planning has brought us closer, prevented stress or resentfulness, and really accelerated our progress towards goals! I think a good financial education should be a part of premarital counseling (we were lucky to discover it ourselves). Well said Dustin!

The thing that we love the most is that we can give freely these days. We were never able to do that before because crisis living caused by living paycheck to paycheck with no emergency fund prevented us from doing so. Debt freedom is so much more awesome than people think it is. We will never ever put ourselves in the situation we used to be in again. As you know we will hopefully be COMPLETELY debt free even the house soon, and WE WILL NEVER, EVER, borrow another dime for any reason. I have a 5 year plan my friend to save up to buy our next house and will prove to the non-believers that 100% down can be done. Great job of making the case for debt freedom! It is GREENER on the other side! Dustin this is a great post! The thing that we love the most is that we can give freely these days.

Financial Peace is a real thing that touches all aspects of your married (and single) life. I'm grateful to Corey to have this outlet to spread the word about the importance of adopting a wise financial plan. Thank you for your kind words, Beth.
