15 Year Goal Done In Under 7 Years

by Angela Carlson |

Leif (my husband) and I never dreamed in 2017 we’d be at this point.
What happened in 2017?
We decided we didn’t like our financial situation and chose to change it.
We made a list.

Pay off all consumer debt (check)
Fully funded emergency fund (check)
Start maxing out Roth IRAs (check)
Stop working opposite schedules (check)
Last Item to be completed by end of 2023

Holy crap.

We are on track to achieve our 2017 ideal, shared future in under 7 years when we thought it would take at least 15.
And what we thought was our ideal, shared future without financial stress at the time turned out to be just a glimpse of what is truly possible.

When you work together financially and both feel heard, seen, and valued – transformation occurs at every level of your marriage.

I know it’s possible for your marriage too.
