How Ashley Paid Off $45,000 in 17 Months

Are you tired of paying so many bills that you can’t save enough fast enough to retire early?

When you want to have that freedom of options, you have to get rid of what is holding you back and that’s debt.

Once I paid off my debt, I had so many options in my life that I didn’t have before. I was able to quit my stressful job that had a pension and good benefits.

If I still had a ton of debt, I wouldn’t have had that option. I would have stuck it out in a job that I was burned out in just to pay bills.

With a lot of focus and motivation, we were able to pay off $45,000, in just 17 months.

Repay Debt Faster by Budgeting for It

Budgeting for debt

Budgeting for debt means you methodically eliminate your debts by planning for it.

Budgeting is often given a wrong meaning. Many people view it as something that puts a stop to every fun thing in life.  They mistakenly think that a budget restricts you from eating out or shopping. In short, you’re devoid of any enjoyment if you follow a budget.

However, it’s not like that. At all.

Actually, budgeting helps you to spend money on the things you want. It helps you to take control on your finances and get your financial life on track.
