I paid off one of my credit cards today! Woo-hoo! I have one more credit card to pay off and then all I’ll have are my student loans.

I’m really excited to be on the road to being debt-free. I was praying today about my future marriage and wondering what I would do in certain situations. A few of my friends who are getting married actually took out loans to put on the wedding. I’m not sure if I’m going to do that. I don’t want to go into a marriage in the red.

That lead to wondering whether I should be debt-free before I get married. It seems like if debt is indeed slavery, I would be forcing my wife into slavery if I had debt. I’m not sure if I would be excited about that. My heart is to be debt free before I get married, but who knows when that will be.

I can’t wait until I pay off my other credit card and my student loan. I’m incurring so much expenses just from doing ministry…close to $200 a month!

I highly recommend getting the Crown™ Money Map for those trying to build a strong financial base. I’m using it now and I really like it. It provides an over-view of what to do in your financial journey. I’m doing steps 1 and 2 right now. I think I’m in a slightly different zip code right now than most people. I am slowly paying off my credit cards while I build an emergency savings. I hope to be there by the end of October.
