The Programs This Couple Used to Get Their Debt Forgiven
We know tackling debt together might be one of the toughest things you’ll do as a couple. Sometimes it’s a combination of student loans, credit cards, car payments, a mortgage, and everything in between, accumulated on both sides…but not always. Even if only one of you is bringing the debt, the grind is still the same. Christy Spates knows that very, very well.
On today’s episode of His & Her Money, we were so happy to link up with a couple from our Smart Money Couples group for a conversation about debt freedom. Christy is an elementary school teacher living in Qatar with her husband, and most of the debt she brought into their marriage was student loans.
Several reasons pushed her towards paying off her debt, mostly her faith, and also the opportunities she realized she was missing out on. Initially, debt held Christy back from her dreams of being a missionary, and even after getting married, there were things the couple still struggled to do.
And that’s when it was time to hustle!
