It’s been awhile since my husband and I took a couple of classes for getting debt free. We first attended Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey through our church. That was a lot of information to absorb and navigate. We still use a lot of what we learned in that class and take the refresher course every other year. And since we paid for the first class the refresher courses are free! We also did War On Debt by Dani Johnson. This was especially helpful to me the nerd (if you don’t know what that means take Dave’s course) as I had a hard time finding the extra money without another source or job. What I learned in War on Debt was to look right at my pantry, refrigerator (2nd or 3rd refrigerator) and grocery bill. Ouch! We were throwing our cash in the garbage can and had way too much food.
I did the assessment and found that we could live on our pantry for about four months with very little added. I had no idea. This was such an “AHA” moment to us. I had never used a meal planner or a list to shop. So I was shopping from memory. Hello, I have been through menopause and I think I lost some of those memory cells. I digress here. My point is that I found over $400-$500 per month just in my pantry and food shopping. That doesn’t include what I found when we did a complete assessment for our financial health. It was staggering what we letting go out the door! Do you want to be debt free but don’t know where to start?
When was the last time you took inventory of your financial health? Do you realize how closely your financial health is to your physical health? The stress from being in debt and not able to make your bills or having to make a decision on whether to pay a bill or buy food can be taking a major toll on how long you live in this lifetime! I help people overcome their limiting beliefs that are keeping them stuck, broke and unhealthy to create a life with balance, time freedom and health.
