19. My Money Story with Carly - Part 1

05/01/23 • 26 min

I started Debt Free Mom in March of 2019. We were debt-free, we had three kids, and we were about to buy our first house. But we had also been married for over seven years, and the way our finances looked over those seven years was nothing like it looked when I started Debt Free Mom. So I thought to close out season one of the Debt Free Mom podcast, I would take three episodes to break down our story, Kyle and my story of money management and learning what we needed to do with our money no matter where our income was at from the time that we got married in December of 2011 all the way up to today. The big picture story I want to tell is from debt, to debt-free, to Debt Free Mom.

How do we sort through our money goals? When we have big deadlines, like a baby due date, a car that won't fit the whole family, and then just a general desire to be investing more today? Jenny and I talked through a game plan for financially preparing for a new baby and then which goal is to focus on after baby arrives. Do we do the goals that just feel good or should we run the numbers first?
