“So follow the steps of the good, and stay on the paths of the righteous.” Proverbs 2:20 Three years after my wife and I were married, we found ourselves in a tough spot financially. We were both working and making decent money, but we couldn’t seem to get ahead. We felt trapped by our debt and didn’t know what we could do about it. At Christmas, my step-mother-in-law gave me a book that she had just finished reading. It was Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover. I think I read the book in a day or two and got excited. My wife and I sat down and dreamed about what we would do if we didn’t have any debt payments. We had just bought a house too! It made sense to try something different because what we were doing wasn’t working. We got on a plan and started making progress. More importantly, we were on the same page. Following the steps of someone who had gone before us proved to be what we needed to start winning financially. We would get out of debt in 29 months, and then I thought we knew better than the next step in someone else’s plan, so we deviated. A few short years later, we were back in debt. We recommitted to the goal, and here we are again, debt-free! We stuck to the baby steps this time and are now saving up for a down payment on a house. Never again will we go into debt to buy “stuff.” We are choosing to follow the righteous path. If you’d like help getting on this path AND STAYING THERE, let me know. I’d be honored to support you.
