Although I think I can say Hannah and I have always been financially conscious, I must also admit that we reflect and think that we fell victim to the consumerism ideas that dominate our beloved United States of America. In short, we were simply the world’s greatest rationalizers and justifiers when it came to something that required that extra push to go ahead and purchase. I cannot act like we regret some of those purchases because most of them have served the specific purpose that we intended; however, they were not needs or necessities.
Enter Chris Hogan and Dave Ramsey. I first listened to Chris Hogan’s book, Everyday Millionaires, because it was free with our subscription to Audible and if you need anyone that will get you pumped up for a financial future that is free of stress, Chris Hogan is your guy. Mr. Hogan is a Ramsey Solutions personality that preaches on the 7 Baby Steps to Financial Peace and currently, we are only on Baby Step #2, get out of debt. Although we still have a long road ahead of us, Hannah and I cannot help but get excited for what the future holds and how much more appreciative we will be when it is bought, paid for, and owned by no one other than ourselves.
We look forward to sharing this part of our journey with everyone willing to read along and cannot wait to celebrate the day we become free of all debt and the possibilities become endless.
