We love a good debt-free story here at His & Her Money. To us, getting out of debt once and for all is the ultimate financial power move when it comes to taking control of your own life and not letting the finances get you all tied up.
There are a lot of tough decisions you’re going to have to make in life but deciding whether or not to start paying off your debt doesn’t have to be one of them — in fact, starting your journey towards financial freedom can open up more doors than you ever thought possible!
Today on the His & Her Money Show, our debt-free story of the hour comes from Lindsey Ralston from BigHouseInTheWoods.com, and not only is she a debt-free advocate, but she’s all about helping others to refresh and renew their money mindset and get started on their way to success! Lindsey is big on all things debt elimination. Furthermore, she has so many tools under her belt to keep your finances in check, and think, save, and feel like a millionaire!
In the beginning, Lindsey was graduating college in the exact same position as so many others: with substantial student loans. But she didn’t want to kick off her marriage with tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt, so she got to work!
Along the way, Linsey and her husband faced challenges. This including scorpions – yes, scorpions — and some common, well-meaning, but objectively bad financial advice, and expanded their knowledge in the financial sphere and the big, big world of real estate. And over time, Lindsey started compiling all those tips and tricks that she and her husband learned along the way and passing it along to others — couples, families, and individuals alike — who might be starting off on the same journey!
We’re a huge fan of Lindsey’s blog AND her debt-free story. We hope you can learn as much as possible from all the nuggets that she’s dropping today!
