I have friends that give me a hard time about making sacrifices to pay off my mortgage 12 years early. They always say - you have to live life now - bla bla bla. Freedom is not owing other people money.

Been debt free for over 7 years. One must tell themselves " if it was easy anyone would do it". No better feeling than being debt free!

I feel disgusted wuth myself for the way I've wasted time and money over the past 5yrs. Im 26 living at home $11, 000 in debt with slow income, back on unemployment with $3 to my name right now.. Feeling discouraged but I'm in it now. Ain't no way i can see life and money the same after watching these videos everyday. Prayer and consistency.

My sick-and-tired moment was at the end of my divorce three years ago. I had won custody of my daughter but I was deep in the hole in terms of debt with credit cards, student loans, a car payment and a divorce which almost bankrupted me. At age 30, I set the goal of being debt-free (with the exception of student loans) by the time I was 35 and I got after it. Fast forward three years, I'm 33 and on track to be 100% debt free (INCLUDING STUDENT LOANS) before my 34th birthday. It's been hard. There have been lots of sacrifices. People think I'm poor because I live frugally. But I'd do it all over again if I had to turn the clock back. Stick with it, folks. You can do it.

Even in Las Vegas, rice and beans doesn't cost $800/month. Cook like your immigrant grandmother. Pasta, potatoes, kugel, colcannon, pierogi, haluski, bubble and squeak, beans and rice, beans and cornbread, pasta fazool, pea soup. Oatmeal breakfasts, no fancy boxed cereal. No alcohol. No goodies, no snacks. My grandma fed eleven kids on next to nothing, bought fifty pound sacks of potatoes and fed the family for a week on that.

Debt free feels amazing. If I can do it, anyone can. Start right this moment, and don't stop till you did it too.

I became officially debt free April 27th, 2020. Over $8, 500 of debt paid off. It took me approximately 1 year of hard work, consisting of 10-12 hour days, 5 days a week, driving 300-350 miles per day. Working as an independent contractor medical courier, I traveled over 66 thousand miles driving through storms, blistering heat, snow, ice, and countless steep hills without air conditioning or cruise control. Now I have 6, 000 saved and I’m still gonna save until I get to 10k

When I was in college, i had a budget of 100$ / month for food lol... I got really good at going through sales and coupons and really expanding my dollar. I came to a point where I was spending ~22$ a week on food/ groceries. People don’t believe me but yes I lived that life.
