      That smile is FREEDOM. She is a beautiful lady as well, don't get me wrong, but they both have freedom all over their faces. We have been working a debt snowball....it is grueling....but almost finished (other than the house), and wow.....what a feeling. This was such an exciting video. We too want to move to the country.....we want to travel more.....but we would have failed miserably with all the debt. So will start with a fresh slate and new way to live going forward. Really opens your eyes to things we tend to ignore in this rate race of a world. Amazing how this world feeds us debt. It is not easy....but it is achievable. Congrats you two and thanks for sharing your story.

      Braden at your age start investing as much as you can in some index funds every month . Don't stop for the next 30 to 35 years and you will never have to worry . It will be difficult at times but just stay the course !

      Go listen to Dave Ramsey, read his book Total Money Makeover.
      I wish I would have found him at 18 instead of 32. Look up his "7 Baby Steps" and follow those. If you start now, you'll make everything much easier on yourself, than waiting until youre 30+ and wishing you would have started at 18.

    • @justincruz8352
      @justincruz8352 4 года назад +5

      word of advice. Do not take out any student loan at all. Do not get into debt. Start a vanguard account and open your roth IRA account to buy target date mutual funds. If you follow these simple instructions you will be a multi millionaire when you retire. That's only investing 5 or 6k a year. Easily doable when you get a decent job. The Roth IRA account is a retirement account you wont pay taxes on when its time to sell. Learn the power of compound interest. Its VERY important you start early. With a 10 percent annual return you will double your money every 7 years. This doesn't take into effect the money you are adding to it every year. If you start next year investing the 6k you will have almost 5 million dollars if you retire at 65. Do yourself a favor and research Roth IRA's. Also stay clear of the temptation to buy things you cant afford. Your friends will buy trucks and houses they cant afford with no clear goals for retirement. If you prefer to have the nice things now but have no hope of retirement be my guest but I don't think that's a way to really live your life. Im 33 and feel incredibly lucky that im debt free and already have a clear idea of how Im going to retire.

    We've been on the Dave Ramsey train of thought for a long time and it has literally saved us many times. We are literally dept free except for the house. My wife is the saver too and she does amazing work with our finances, especially with me not being able to work anymore because I have terminal cancer. I am 100% disabled through the VA and they're finally paying for the medical bills, but that took a couple years to get set up, but because of how good she is with money we literally had no hospital bills. It's hard work, but it definitely takes a team, you definitely can't have one person who is just spending non stop.
    Cheers & prayers to you and your family Cody

      We live in a house with a small yard in the city, and we have a rooster, several hens and a duck. So far, no one has complained. I like waking up at sunrise to the crowing. My wife and I get up and go for a walk around the local soccer field, holding hands. It's a good life, you make it what you want it.

    YAY great work! My wife and I flipped our house in CA 5 years ago and used the small profit to get a much larger, nicer house with land in CASH in rural Arkansas. It was difficult to sacrifice leaving all our friends and family, our jobs, plus the endless amenities of city living, but totally 100% worth it. Now we're preparing to flip this house and build a fully off-grid homestead. It's been a long, slow, arduous process, but we've had the homestead dream in our sights for over 15 years, and now we're almost there. To anyone dreaming of a life rich in freedom, abundance, and self-reliance: you can do it! Set your goals, map the process, and take it one step at a time! Stay positive and never give up!

    Im stoked for you guys! I struggled with getting my feet down with finances a little bit when i first moved away from home. Got married and divorced real young which really set me back. About 3 years ago I strapped myself down to the saving train and have been really busting my ass. I've since done two trips to Afghanistan which helped a ton and now I'm about to be 24 and by my birthday I should have about 125k saved. with no debt besides a mortgage but it is a cashflow property at the moment and has room for me to improve it and raise the value of it quite a bit once i move back in. I plan to sell it in the next 2 years. My goal is to hit a quarter mil net worth by the time I'm 25.

    Dave Ramsey helped my wife and I get out of debt. Paid off all student loans, new cars, and everything else by 26. I am not a religious guy, so I always told my wife I wasnt going to listen to Dave. Finally caved, and went to a thing with Daves daughter and it all clicked. His program has helped us stay debt free and get a huge savings account over the last 4 or so years.

  • @bigqueue
    @bigqueue 4 года назад

    Great video, and awesome advice! I was taught to be a "saver", so I have been lucky enough to never be in large scale debt. My parents were products of the depression, and they passed all the lessons they learned to me, so I was quite fortunate to have been born to them. I know many people with the chains of debt across they shoulders, and stories like yours are a great testimony to the fact that mere humans can pull themselves up and out of that torture. (and be so happy when they do) Thanks for the video!
    BTW: One of my "secrets" when I was young and trying to save was to think about a purchase in terms of how many hours of work I needed to do to pay for it. This would help me center my mind on how important and necessary it was. I aso made a rule for myself where I set a limit where if I was going to make a purchase above a certain amount, I HAD to step back and delay that purchase for a day or two to really think about it. That helped a lot with spontaneous buys. I also only carried so much cash in my pocket so I could never spent a lot without thinking. Over the years asmy savings and income grew all those limits I described would just naturally slide up, but I always kept them in line with my income....never my savings. Everyone has their approach to it....that was a part of mine. I think everyone needs a plan and to track their progress against that plan.

    Cody, we use an app called "Good Budget" on our phones. It allows us to know exactly what is in each envelope that we have made up and where it's being spent. Each person just has to put in their receipts and it automatically syncs to both phones. It's a really good app and I highly recommend it.

    One thing I learned in my younger years about saving money was to try and look for your financial fun limit.
    I mean to say while overall trying to stop super expensive hobbies, actively look to see how few hobbies that require resources you need to fill your time.
    Personally I learnt I could do with a belly boat instead of an actual boat, and a dirtbike instead of a quad and 1-2 other things.
    But once I had just a few of my favourite pass times reasonably taken care of and started trying to save, the value of the money was always higher then the things I wanted to buy with it. Then saving became habit and easy. And the value of everything changed to me in a healthy way.

    • @joeh4295
      @joeh4295 4 года назад +3

      Needs, wants and desires. Take care of needs first. Once they're fulfilled, then you save for wants and the process continues. It's important to know that some desires will never be fulfilled. The problem is that too many people have this process reversed.

    This is exactly what I needed to hear, I've really been slacking in my finances lately, I am long overdue to get it dialed in.

    The first thing my wife and I did after getting married was go through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and it was decently the best decision we made as a married couple. Congrats on being debt free!!! I hope to be there in a few more years.

    My wife is still enamored by the city. Me, being raised in Alaska, can't imagine a worse fate than to live in a large lower 48 city, but I love her. I'm so happy for you all.

      My wife moved to Alaska with me. Try to convince your wife, Anchorage isn't small and is just "outside" Alaska.

    I recently subscribed for the tool comparisons. Blindly walked into this and similar videos of yours. This video was extremely helpful and motivating. I'm a new/huge fan of you and your lifestyle. Thank you for opening up to all of us about your personal finances, and life stories and your family. It's lovely to see and hear, and I can't tell you how helpful and uplifting it is to watch this video in particular.

    Congrats. Years ago I set a goal of having my home paid off by the time I retired.....and did it 2 years before i retired. Felt great. Then we decided to buy an ocean front condo within months of paying off that mortgage. Now we have a mortgage again.....but sitting on the balcony overlooking the ocean 10 or so days a month feels pretty good too. 😎

      @Marcus Jones Thanks. No stress here. Wouldn't have even considered such a thing otherwise. I am so conservative, if I were a plane I couldn't fly with my 2 right wings. Thanks again.

    That's why my family moved more into the country when after I was born cause the big city style town well it's dangerous even today people know that there's a very fine line of the good part and bad part of that town so basically now having spent 20 years growing up in the country i loved it a lot more besides how you suppose to run through the woods with sticks with no woods 😂

    I was the saver. Even after years of me trying, to be as compromising and kind as possible, he refused to go along with the plan. Would not read about how to make things better. That, his spending and he not living an honest life led to me leaving. I still have hope of a good relationship seeing people like you.

    START WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG!
    You’ve heard it a thousand times, and just don’t want to hear it again from some “old codgers”. Please, listen to the wisdom of 30, 40 and 50 year olds and up..start saving at your first paycheck. You will have debt; be it student loans, Mortage, a car payment or unforeseen circumstance..you will make financial mistakes. Don’t let those mistakes go unheeded. Don’t make those same mistakes again.
    If you start saving at an early age, the debt you take on can be much much less(if any) and be manageable....even saying that, the goal is to be DEBT FREE...as much as possible, as early as possible. If you do acquire debt, make sure the debt works for you, not you for the debt.
    We know, we were all there once. You want to go out, you want to have fun and have a nice car. But the more work you put into it at 20, is less work that you’ll have to put in it at 30. The more work you put in at 30, the less work you’ll have to put in at 50.
    Ever said to yourself “ I wish I would have known then what I know now”? Well, you do know. I’m you, 20 years into the future. And I’m telling you...save, save, save, save.
