I am 25 years old; and between me and my darling fiance (DF) we are approximately $250K in debt. Now, before you ask what the h*ll we were thinking, about $230K of that is student loans for our respective college & law school educations). Of course, neither of us are actually practicing law (so now you can ask what the h*ll we were thinking!) The other $20K is DF’s credit card debt from a long time ago (the college years).
Anyway, I have a number of financial goals, and I’m hoping this blog can 1) help keep me on track 2) help share with the world all the ways that I am working to achieve more with less. I’ll be talking about our debt and spending; but more importantly (and perhaps more interestingly) I’ll be sharing great deals I find, couponing tips, tips for managing a household on a shoestring, and tips for doing more with less. I’ll also be sharing my thoughts on debt and personal finance in general.
Here’s the great part… our goal is to get our debt ALL paid off within 2-4 years and then never ever go into debt again. To do so, we have a number of plans in the works. First of, we’re both going to work (of course!) at regular jobs. But I’m also going to be starting my own business. And we’re going to try to live for as close to $0 as possible, using coupons & freebies & internet income to support a comfortable way of life. That way, we can devote all of our (currently meager!) paychecks to tackling a debt load which seems all but impossible right now.
So, please join me and follow along with us on our (hopefully not very long) journey toward total financial freedom. I hope my tips can help you on your own quest for financial independence, or perhaps just help you live a life that is a little bit better, for a little bit less.
