I know that J.R. helped me learn some great money lessons after we got married...and he did it in a loving and logical way. I'm sure it feels great to be out of debt, but to also know that you accomplished something very hard. <br /><br />By the way, speaking of spending wisely...there are some great deals on homes in Arizona right now....hint hint! Come on...it's a perfect time to change things up a bit. Just think, no ice to scrape off your window, no snow to shovel, sitting by the pool sipping lemonade (or Dr. Pepper). It'd be sweet! Think about it.It's Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00826922025973914662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662156573208048976.post-47089331372181994032010-10-04T15:43:51.959-06:002010-10-04T15:43:51.959-06:00YAHOOOOO!!!

I know exactly what you mean, too, about being in a certain lifestyle and not seeing how it'd even be POSSIBLE to climb out. As a young adult I was so accustomed to being continuously in debt that I seriously couldn't even imagine any other way. (But, like you, my hubbie was my inspiration! I gave it a shot, because of him, and we are so much the better for it. I feel SO grateful to be able to save, and such.) <br /><br />But, just, the awesomest thing is the love that pours out in this post! I think it's one of my favorites of all time.<br /><br />And, I'll start perusing the Homes for Sale in the Boise area for you! :D<br /><br />Love,<br />h.heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194614616594881998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662156573208048976.post-60145531001185850132010-10-03T21:26:56.671-06:002010-10-03T21:26:56.671-06:00Yay!

It is embarrassing to admit that we were ever so foolish and stupid with our money but maybe this will at least give other financially retarded people out there some hope. Being that deep in debt is awful and suffocating and just one of the worst feelings in the world. Being out of debt feels great... like I can breathe again. I also have to give a lot of credit to Dave Ramsey for inspiring us to get on the path to financial freedom and I'm sure we'll continue to look to him for guidance as we move into a brave new world of no consumer debt. So thanks to Dave but also a big thanks to Karen because maybe she couldn't have done it without me but I couldn't have done it without her either. She was a good sport and a great partner throughout the whole process and I love her all the more for it. :-)Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01324278771922618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662156573208048976.post-55045062078129223172010-10-03T21:12:01.264-06:002010-10-03T21:12:01.264-06:00Congratulations!!
