Please don't feel guilty for having...Hey there! Please don't feel guilty for having some debt when you entered into your relationship. You know what, it happens. And it happens to all of us. I had some. My now husband had some. And we even accumulated some together. We were able to pay off our debt and it feels great. A lot of people will disagree with me but we took the smallest balance and attacked that first. Most would say to tackle the debt with the highest rate which makes since but I needed to really feel like we were doing something. So we knocked the small amounts out and then jumped to the larger debts. That worked for us and kept us motivated. We took the year after we got married and basically said no to everything. We were invited on vacations and we said no. I went shopping with friends and bought nothing. We ate in a lot. We saved and paid every dime possible. I told my husband that we got engaged in one year, married the next and then had the most boring year ever. HAHA! But that feeling of paying that last amount was so worth it. Now we put money into savings and its nice having more disposable income for emergencies (need a new water heater - pay cash and not on the card). Being debt free just gives you more freedom. <br /><br />Sounds like you guys are doing awesome!!<br /><br />Jayme @ Her Late Night CravingsJayme @ Her Late Night Cravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927837054968442879noreply@blogger.com
