How we went from living paycheck to paycheck to helping friends and family dominate their finances.

Before we paid off $106,000 in debt. Before there were kids. Before we even knew what FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) was…there were just two kids driving fast cars and eating out every day.

Not checking prices, just swiping.

Desperate to look successful.

Scared to death of unearthing the total debt they had.

Houses, Credit Cards, & Civic Type-R’s (Oh my!)

We didn’t have a smooth ride into debt freedom.

While the outside saw us as a mil-to-mil married couple with no kids, baller house, and fast cars…

The shift to “parenthood” was anything but taking the training wheels off and handling finances like a true adult.

When we finally started digging, I was plagued by anxiety, shame, and fear that Austin would leave me if he knew how I actually spent money.

And when we finally came together as a team…

… we realized it’s much easier to dig out of something if you have your life partner with you.

The first few month’s year was rough.

We didn’t have a fairy Godmother to bipitty bobbity boo our debt away.

Every small “win” was bruised with FOMO (fear of missing out), saying no, and feeling like I was depriving myself of things I deserved.

Lots of date nights in the house when there was money in the bank.

Feeling like I was starving the part of me that wanted to spend the hard earned money I made on something I could see or use.

Painful conversations with Austin, desperately sounding like an addict ready to spend again.

Budgeting.

Driving 20 year old cars.

Having people think we’re so broke they want to help us.

Knowing that not everyone understands or agrees

Everyone telling us we need credit (we’ll get to that… ) and asking Austin constantly if we were doing the right thing.

So we took a final stand.

We discovered that a budget is NOT at odds with getting things we want.

They are in fact two sides of the same coin. So we doubled down and used it consistently. We learned:

  • How to accurately plan for emergencies with cash rather than using credit cards
  • How to build confidence than the mountain of debt was able to be slayed without burning out
  • How to create side hustles to earn more money and pay debt faster and invest in our future

And after that was dialed in…

We wanted everyone to feel the freedom we did.

So dollar by dollar were going to give you nitty gritty details that give you the confidence to build an amazing debt-free future without all the crazy confusion.

We’ve shown hundreds of veterans, dual-income families and awesome people not only how to get out of debt, but walk with you every step of the way.

We’re able to do this because we teach what we know.

We teach the same steps we’ve personally used to pay off $106,000 in debt, the techniques we used to sell things to generate more income, and buy a two year old car in cash.
