Making Saving Second Nature
When my husband and I were dating, being debt free was NOT on our radar. We were just two twenty-somethings who were living in the moment. To be painfully honest, I was looking forward to us living in a big city and just being married. We’d go out to dinner all the time and have […]
I’m going to admit something that I haven’t told a lot of people (so why not tell the whole internet?)…my husband and I bought our first house before we were ready. Not only were we newly married (we closed on our house on our one year wedding anniversary), but we also had over $100,000 worth […]
