I get the I want to party now mentality however, I get the save money as well. We got out of debt to not owe anyone. And guess what we still have to pay taxes on our house. So nothing is every really paid off. I would recommend get out debt, stay out of debt and live life.

What's your financial story?
Best thing I ever did was marry a very driven woman and very smart woman. She’s been known to take over my TBH account once in a blue moon.
She pays all the bills and mortgage and I pay for the cars and car insurance. We split the HOA and food bill. I transfer her money when she asks for it when those bills are due.
It’s worked for us for the last 14 years and o counts imagine it any other way.

My wife and I both have good paying jobs. She has a shopping problem and had pretty good credit card debt when we met. She (we) no longer have credit card debt and the spending has gotten better.
We will be debt free by the end of this year except for the mortgage. We would be debt free now minus mortgage, but I invested that money into starting my business, "The Hunter Sight".
The goal is to have the house and our daughters college paid off in 5 to 10 years
We have 6 month emergency fund saved up. We both max out our 401k contributionsLast edited by Beargrasstx; 01-17-2019, 02:24 AM.

I'm a relatively young guy at 28. My heroes growing up were WW2 vets and my grandpa who lived through the depression. These guys distrusted the stock market and that always stuck with me.
I would love to hear if any of you all feel the same way. If so, what other ways did you invest your money?
