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.
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.

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