I have been a budgeter for several years now. (Budgeter?...Budgetee?....Person who budgets?) It has been imperative as a small business owner, with a family of 7, also with 1 horse, 5 chickens, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. Basically, I live on a farm. Against my will. Because my husband and children love animals, and I love them so I have a farm. (I enjoy it, but don't you DARE give my secret away!) But I digress...
Recently, I have been more and more impressed in my spirit to become 100% debt free. So, I have been on this journey of discovering what that would take, what that journey looks like, and realizing what that would do for our family and for our future.
I sat down and gathered up ALL of our debts. Put them down in a list. And hyperventilated. HOW did we get this far into debt, and NOT EVEN REALIZE IT? Man, it adds up fast!
I am going to go out on a limb here and say, I am probably not the only person on the planet that this has happened to. I know that debt is an epidemic in America; therefore, the majority of Americans are probably in way deeper than they even realize. This gives me hope. It also pains me. That is why I am blogging my journey. Because if I am here, and others are here, maybe we can encourage one another and find our way out together. That is my hope in all this. That along my journey to DEBT FREEDOM, I can bring someone along with me. That we can climb out of the hole, and stand up on top of the mountain, together.
If I am farther along on this journey and you have just found me, I pray that this very first blog post encourages you that You can do this!!!!
