Getting out of debt
In the first few years of our marriage, my husband and I were stupid. Instead of paying off the small debt we had, we just got more. Well in Oct 2005 it kinda hit it’s limit. We could no longer live like we were and so the decision was made for Ben to join the Army. He had been in before and he knew he would somewhat enjoy it. We also knew it would support us and help us get out of our hole.
Well when you first join the Army you don’t get paid right away. And then they screwed up on the money so things were a mess months later. It was so frustrating. But ever since Ben left for Iraq we have been hitting it hard. We have paid off 24% of our credit card debt since Sept 1st!!! That is exciting. After months and months of seeing our debt go up it is so nice to see it go down and to pay off credit cards.
We have a lot of goals and we know in order to complete them we have to be out of debt. It will be a long road but we are on it and slowly making our way
