Our Debt Story | $41,000 in Debt, What It Was, How We Got There, and How We Got Out!


Gritty Detail Warning! In this video, I go through the details of what made up our $41,000 in debt when we started our Dave Ramsey Debt-Free Journey, what brought us to that point, and the paradigms we had and needed to change in order to make it out. Today we are thriving in a debt-free life, and are telling our money where to go, rather than wondering where it went.

 This is the fifth video in the Budget Course!  The key now that we’ve got the idea of the budget down and the main priority is to make it not just easy to do, but DEAD EASY.  It has to be dead easy because you’re going to get tired.  Sometimes it’s not FUN updating/tracking/planning your budget, and we need to make it so ridiculously easy that you’ll keep doing it, even when it doesn’t feel exciting or motivating; to make it so easy that you’ll keep doing it, even when it’s hard, for the rest of your life.  If this all sounds unrealistic, I thought it was too.  But today with this system, it’s AMAZING.

Why Leasing Is the Most Expensive Way to Operate a Vehicle | Lease VS Finance Car in Canada


It’s easy to think through why we should never lease, as I did in a video from a few years ago (see below), but the math also proves it. In this video, I nerd out a bit on the numbers and show what the effective rate on a car really is!

I’ve recently fielded some questions about budgeting, specifically around the question “Should I Budget More Than 1 Month Ahead?” “Should We Create A Yearly Budget?”

While more planning is never bad, you want to make sure you put as a priority what is a priority, and make less important what is less important. Efficiently doing something that doesn’t need to be done is a waste of time, so it’s important to think through the costs and benefits of your plan. In this video, I walk through some of the most important paradigms around thinking and planning your finances over longer time scales.
