If you’re a fan of Dave Ramsey, this likely isn’t the course for you. One of his famous quotes is that you weren’t born to pay bills & die. After following Dave’s advice to the tee for almost 12 months that’s exactly what my life felt like…. nothing but paying bills. I was able to pay off a $20,000 car loan in less than a year while living on a very low salary. You would think this was such a huge accomplishment, but at the end of it I was disgusted with myself. I spent an entire year of my life doing nothing but putting every penny towards this goal. We rarely ate out, and when we did I would get upset with my husband for spending $3 on the unnecessary drink. We didn’t give gifts, we didn’t invest, we had absolutely ZERO fun. Almost immediately after paying off the car we traded it in for a much more expensive vehicle and decided that balance is the most important thing to life. You will not be spending the next year of your life paying bills & not living. We will buy junk on Amazon, have Starbucks, go on vacation, & buy gifts for friends…. All while maintaining a budget. We will pay off debt & invest at the same time, because it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Most importantly, my plan allows you to LIVE your life, while still reaching your goals.

This is a beginners guide, for people who don't know where to start or are overwhelmed with options. This is the guide that I wish someone would have handed to me at 18 years old. If you're looking for a higher level of advice I recommend the Rich Dad Radio Show podcast, or any of Robert Kiyosaki's books.
