Excellent! Living debt-free is amazing and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Life transforming!!
Well done!! My husband and I became debt free in 2018, saved up 6 months of our income in an emergency fund in 2019. Now in 2020 we were able to be radically generous during this pandemic for people in our community who lost their jobs. It is true financial freedom
That’s the best feeling, when you can give to those in need. Good for you
That's amazing 👏
Hopefully I'll be there in 1 year 3 months
I'm 32 and became debt free yesterday! I think the most important thing you mentioned was discussing big purchases with your spouse. Our rule that we're keeping now that we're out of debt is to discuss all purchases over $100 (except for bills and groceries) and to sleep on any purchase over $300 before we make it.
Love it! And congrats on being debt free!!!
Congratulations 🎊 👏🏼 💐 🥳
As a person who is also debt free I always lie in public and say i have debt because i've noticed that the vast majority of people are in debt and they resent you for being debt free. So that's why I lie and say I have student loans and a car payment.
Whaaa, I would never lie about being debt free. If people feel resentful, that's on them. Be proud of your achievements. I think you can be humble and also talk openly about your financial achievements.
Be the light/salt in everyone else's life! Trust me we all, my debt free self included, need people like you to be honest not in a judging and condescending way because it's so normal to have debt and people don't know there's a better way unless we tell them our successes.
I've got 2 more payments then I'll be debt free 🙌🏿
Go girl!!!
Me too 😩
Way to go girl!!!
Congratulations 👏
Dope!
Yay! Good job. I just started my journey Jan. 2020. My goal is Dec. 2021
Love it! Two years will fly by.
Haha there’s an excellent reason why people move to SD despite how expensive it is here.
Can’t go wrong with PB OB Gaslamp North Park etc. Plus our weather is better than anywhere in the US.
I heard an Uber driver complain about the June gloom in SD. I wanted to punch him. It’s 110° in Phoenix. You guys have it made weather wise.
Dude, can you believe we basically didn't have May Grey or June Gloom this year?! It's been absolutely GORGEOUS!!
Debt Free Millennials I know it’s been awesome lately. I remember awhile back it was cloudy through the 4th of July. I was in OB on the 4th and just clouds everywhere. Warm still but clouds were thick and deep!
Life debt-free is awesome. No looming debt over your head. It's awesome that you can now set your own ours and travel so much!
Debt-free in 2000. Paid off the mortgage then and just paid cash afterwards. It's a fantastic feeling.
Will be debt free (again) mid 2021. And plan to stay there until i invest in real estate property in the future.
I think the $100, let’s discuss this over kill which why you have disagreements some times. Each of you should have a set amount of money that you can spend with no questions asked. Your debt free enjoy it. I’m not saying it has to be a crazy large number but you have to life as well.
I am 55 years old with very little set aside for retirement at this point. I have always been curious about the stock market and have witnessed some people who played the game right and retired early because they used the stock market. When I ask them, most said that they invested very little to start with, but their portfolio grew. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns.
Buy index funds if you wanna be safe, though you are probably be better off just going to Vanguard or something for that
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should've known that by now, nothing beats experience and that's final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again
@@jaluriaja6294 who is your financial coach, do you mind hooking me up?
@@santiagoagustine3749 "My consultant is *Loretta Wilkinson* I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her afterwards. She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on.
@@santiagoagustine3749 You can look her up online if you care supervision. I basically follow her trade pattern and haven't regretted doing so"
I’m debt free I’m giving to my parents now they live out the country but yea feels good
I’m one year in to paying off my own debt. It started as just paying off credit cards and has evolved into a goal of total debt freedom. I have a mortgage and two cars but other than that my debt is pretty low now. Hopefully this trend will catch on with us millennial's. All I hope for is that I can get my finances right so I can be blessing to those around me.
Good luck on your debt free journey! Glad to hear you made the commitment to become debt free!
Best wishes Jim, make sure your partner is just as dedicated otherwise it cannot work! With my stay at home wife I banned holidays, restaurants, no fancy clothes, until home loan paid took 7-8yrs, managed debt free 5yrs ago, we use standard new cars only and keep 10+yrs, now building 4th house zero debt. It is like getting out of jail as far as I can imagine, monkey off the back! sleep better, especially now COVID-19 happens.
Car loans are still considered debt -Dave Ramsey
Christian Dela Pena I agree. But my primary goal for the year was to get rid of all debt besides the cars and mortgage. Cars will be next. Once I have cleared all other debt. My “snowball” will take care of the cars pretty fast.
I just turned 23, sell the cars and get a beater. Pay the difference you’ll thank me later. I just got rid of my brand new mustang and it was the best thing I could do. You can sell the cars and attack the other debt too and make a bigger difference at once
I miss the little Apple! I got out of the Army at fort Riley and went to k state for a while! 💪🏼
It's such a fun place!
I wanna be debt free too 😭😭 been watching these kind of videos and it’s been helping me a lot. I’m slowly paying it off
Yay! I'm so glad you are finding them helpful.
I'm 40 and have a few small things to pay off before i'm completely debt free. My house is paid. A cheap house that I bought and am doing all the work. I have 3 vehicles that are paid, and a 4th project car as well.
My bills are minimal. I'm self employed and choose my hours for the most part.
Looking forward to the next few years as things are getting better everyday and I can start piling money into savings.
I'll never be in debt again.
I live in Lawrence, KS! HEY!
Awesome and hello!!
So excited. I have been on a debt free journey for 5 years. Not there yet, but yesterday, I finally saved enoughed to pay a one time payment of a cc that I have had been robbing Peter to pay Paul for 10 years of interest...it is gone one Tuesday forever! Now, of course life happens s and yesterday, the same day I saved enough a 2014 transmission went out. Good news have an extendeed d warranty should only cost 100.00. Debt free life would be great. I teach Dave Ramsey FPU 2 times a year and this keeps me motivated!
i would like to get internet back and get tv in my house. our entertainment center has been broken for a long time and weve stuck it out and our furniture is honestly kinda nasty its very old. I cannot wait to become debt free we are almost home free im hoping by this year so we can fix some of these issues.
Sound like you almost there keep going
Just the mortgage left here. Looking at about 10 years left on that and 5 more to retire. I'm having a hard time finding enough whys. We invest more too to save enough for retirement. So no traveling or anything major for spending until we're older and ready for retirement. Hobbies are few to save money. No kids, no big plans or whys for retirement, possibly some travel, some part time work, I'd enjoy volunteering for animal rescues. That's about it. I get bored EASILY. I'd love to do outdoor activities, but I don't know how our health will be later 50s to 60s plus. I'm just not having fun now and get burned out. I need to find more inexpensive fun motivating things to make the journey worth it.
Have you considered learning a language? It is the cheapest of my hobbies and one of the most interesting. Worlds open up. Just a thought :)
Just a thought but how about talk about what you do other than the new ways to spend money now that you are debt free. What it sounds like is celebrating a weight loss with eating a cake by yourself.
Hello from Salina, KS!
Salina! Hey hey!
I never had debt and no debt is good debt. I'm 24
Good for you!! Hope it stays that way!
It’s great hearing how you progressed since your debt free journey. You have shown that talking about money is so important in relationships.
It's extremely important to discuss money! Glad you stopped by.
Awesome job!! Life by design! You only get one shot at this thing...do it your way!!
Manhattan, KS is awesome! Let's grab a beer at taphouse lol, kidding
I love Taphouse! And I'm depressed that Tallgrass closed!!! Their pub ale was one of my favorites.
Where have you been all my life! I needed this video
Ohhh ya know, just over in this corner of UA-cam. Glad you're here!!
Love this. Can’t wait til I’m able to make a video like this as well! Still working on it!💪🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For all of you who are working on making it to the debt free life... don't quit.. its most def worth it!!!! Freedom
👏👏👏
Wooo San Diego!
We're big fans too 😎
How are you doing with this inflation rising?
I just recorded a video about this! I'll be posting it soon.
Oh my gosh! I'm a K-STATE alum! I'm working in KC now!!! Go Cats!
YESSS! I love finding other K-Staters on UA-cam! Love Manhappiness!
I've only been $3500 in debt. Strung it along for 2 years. No good reason. Stimulus checks allowed me to knock that shit out hella fast. Never again. I'm so grateful ive never had the amounts debt many other people have.
I managed to get in a position this year where i can save $2k a month easily. In a few years, I'll be buying a house outright. No mortgage.
Gonna make a construction paper chain like kids do at school for counting the days to Xmas to keep focus.
Love the visual aid of a paper chain, that's a great idea!
Blessing ?
I live north of Manhattan!!!!! K-State hora!
Nice!! I love MHK!
Big purchases to me isn't nearly the drain as small ones. Those small ones can drain my account so fast, especially at Starbucks.
35,000, thats all, geez I wish that was all
Are you consumer debt free or consumer and mortgage debt free?
Love your videos,great content,hair is looking fab👍🙆
Thank you! You're too kind!
My goal is 4-7 years $120,000. In student loans and credit card debt, I save aggressively now, have life insurance, still trying to get a hold of eating out but I no longer use plastic my credit score is decent.
When people have never bought a house and they are debt free it doesn’t really mean anything to me.
What makes you say that?
Debt Free Millennials Just an opinion. Not hating on anyone. I was “debt free” until I bought a house. It wasn’t anything special to me. Now if I become debt free again AND I own my house, that would be a big deal to me.
Not a K-stater (rock chalk forever 🥳) BUT I just wanted to say I LOVE watching your channel. I’m graduating college this weekend and I’ve been following your channel for awhile to plan my debt pay back plan!
Love it!! And congratulations on graduating! 🥳🥳 glad you found the content helpful ☺️
I’m trying to pay off my car this year. It’s my last loan. And then put more into my retirements and savings. Subscribed to this channel!
Yay, almost paid off car!! Thanks for being here :)
Go wildcats, my dad was stationed in Fort Riley in the early 2000s and we lived in Manhattan for 2 years (6th and 7th grade) I loved my time there.
Michelle Schneider Go Cats!! That’s awesome! Riley is a huge base so lots of military presence in MHK.
im here right now. manhattan is low key awesome
K-State Alumni 💜🤗 Graduated in May and am starting my debt free journey
Go Cats!! I LOVE meeting other K-Staters through the channel. Go get 'em on that debt free journey. You got this!!
Kyle is the key word.
Love your videos girl 💕 so inspirational to pay off my student debt and be able to do the things I love!
Dark Blue Nutrition 👏👏 keep it up! What are some things you’d do differently after paying off your student loans?
Robert Black and Cody Bader tattoos!!!!
Woo EMAW, missing Manhattan KS
Same!! I miss Caturday's at the stadium! We used to tailgate on a purple bus... the good ol' days!
Own my own home, and truck, and debt free.. Iv always been careful about debt, so Not owing money to anyone has been a way of life...I sleep really good at night.
Congrats!! Love it.
Great vid my journey is underway can't wait to cross the finish line.
You got this!!
Well done!! I'm so glad that level-headed people like yourself still exists! 5 years and going strong is a massive accomplishment and I can't wait to get to $0 in debt myself :D
Closed all my cards a few months ago and it feels amazing. Dont owe nothin to nobody.
Good for you!!
You paid 35k over 2 years?!
2 years and 5 months but who's counting?
I just paid off my American Express debt and I have only 1 more payment on my student loan. Then I will be debt free!!! Now that i'm at this point I can finally see how broke I've been over the past 7 years. Things I want now: Emergency Fund, Car Fund, Retirement Savings, and Annual Cruise Fund.
Luckily i had 1900 in student loans and got that paid off quick. But then i got a new car and financed a lot of stuff on that loan. Then i didnt like paying 580 for a vehicle i kinda liked. So then i traded in that car and financed another vehicle, the subaru crosstrek. 17k left on the Subaru. Living with my mom at age 24 makes its easy to put all my extra money away
I tried to sign up online and the webpage won't submit
Hi Annalisa, what were you trying to sign up for? The toolkit?
@@DebtFreeMillennials Yes! The free toolkit; I put in my name and email address and it doesn't submit and I never got a confirmation email
Serious question: why would you have a credit card if you are living debt free?
I use the credit card points to redeem for travel, primarily with Southwest airlines and booking rental cars through Chase.
@@DebtFreeMillennials So do you carry a balance or pay it off every month?
The problem with a CC is that most people are not disciplined to pay it off and rack up a balance pretty quickly. I would say go with a debt card that has cash back. Here are some:
www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/081716/5-debit-cards-still-offer-rewards-jpm-td.asp
Also do you guys rent or did you purchase a home? It would seem super challenging to not go into debt when living in CA. I would think the cost of living would be crazy!
@@jaaron3664 I think she stated in a previous old video that she pays them off monthly
credit is for suckers. Dont live beyond your means. If you cant afford something then live without it. If you never borrow and never intend to then you dont need a credit score anyway
If you can be disciplined, a credit card does not hurt to have. If you’re making the same purchases you would with a debit card, you’re getting extra rewards back. Like Dave Ramsey says, credit cards aren’t a wealth-building tool, but it has been a vacation expense offset for myself. The biggest thing is budgeting. My monthly credit card bill has been cut in half since budgeting every dollar.
Graduated from K-State in 2007 and still working to pay down those student loans (on top of my Master's from 2014, too, yay). I love San Diego, have been there several times for work trips!
Love meeting other K-Staters on the channel! Go Cats!!
I just took on almost $400k in debt to buy a property after quitting my $60k/yr job and have never seen such good financial freedom potential. Good advise on strategies to live within your means and find ways to cut costs. Im all for learning financial strategies and finding wedge deals in life that can bring in potential for financial growth. Debt can be a hold-down if used incorrectly but a great tool if you know what you’re doing. My advise, work your way out of “bad” debt and look into “good” debt, like property investments or online business. Lots of good podcasts and vlogs to filter through out there. Use those to get ideas and confirm idead by linking up with folks doing those things in meetUps, after all this covid dies down of course.
Cheers
How are you generating income now that you quit your job?
Cashflow. The property i bought is four units so I get rental income. I’m “househacking” my living situation, basically allowing rental income to pay my mortgage and prove me with some income. Having a W2 job helps with growing this model, since one needs income to qual for home loans, but in my situation it works out since I’m returning to school to increase my income while allowing my property to cashflow while being a student. Lots of great material out there on how to do this. Biggerpockets podcast is one. Sorry for delay. I count figure out this reply feature lol. Cheers!
Nice wall color
Not a KStater but I served 4 years out of Ft. Riley. Manhattan was our go to!
Debt free is great. Being in deep debt is miserable.
Good job and thanks for sharing to be an inspiration to others.
I love this video 💛 also I just noticed the USA Map in the background, where did you buy that? 🤩
Debt free? What about a home?
When u say DEBT FREE I THOUGHT it included your home! Good luck In San Diego lol
The only debt we have left is our mortgage, ever that feels amazing to be honest. Can't wait till the mortgage is gone too!
it's good to be debt free, but keep in mind that no matter how much we earn and accumulate, we will all leave this world the same way we came into the world, we end up with the same amount, zero.
I can't argue with that. I think it's that balance between living here and now and protecting your future self as well.
A big sigh of relief being debt free 👏
My wife and I won’t be debt free until about 2024 but it’ll be interesting to see how our spending habits change once we are debt free. We are following the Ramsey plan in total and not just baby step 2 so once we are debt free we still have plans to save an Emergancy fund. Then save to buy a house after we take a celebratory vacation to the UK ;) which is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time but our debt has totally held us back from doing. Great video.
I was at K-State from 05-07! Great city! We are just North of London now. About 3 months away from being debt free!!
K-state alumni here
Go Cats!!
Money goals and couples goals all in one video
We have less than 5K before we are 100% debt free.
Currently dealing with some issues medically. Hoping its all figured out before the year ends. If not another 6 grand will be heading towards health insurance deductibles. But heres to the positive out look!
Did you catch my video on how to negotiate your medical bill? That one might be helpful for you!
Am planning to start this journey now. With God I wanna be free
You got this!!
EMAW!
Wait do you have a house paid for?
“ Ummm I don’t eat out every day and you shouldn’t either “ Well last time I checked I’m still in charge of my life but thanks. Also I would love to see how you swing spending only 50$ a month on clothing it would take me 3 months to get a pair of shoes.
This swamp of debt is now creeping to Russia. I have not so big debt but i think it's time to finish with it for good )))
wish i'd find a wife that thinks like u one day :)
And if you don't make her think that way
My husband and I got started on our debt free journeys separately, but have paid 16k this year since getting married!
That's fantastic!
Saving up is great but it only works if it's in a timely manner. If it takes 900 years to save up for anything it won't work. If your gonna save up cash for anything you better bust your back and work like a mad man. Then you have a real chance to get out of debt and stay out.
Southwest CREDIT CARD = not being debt free
I just want to clear that.
Hi, I was wondering, does your debt free mean no mortgage or rent? Also, I need help understanding how to save better?
I still pay rent. Check out my playlist called Save Like You Mean It. I have a ton of videos on savings!
Are you using like a excel spreadsheet? If so, Can you create a template of it and share it? Obviously clear out any personal data. :)
Dude yes! Check out the toolkit: debtfreemillennials.com/toolkit
in my debt free journey my credit score dropped from over 800 to just under 800.. oh well
Comment 150!
Also do you have any kids?
Cute. Let me know when you own a house and are debt free. Would love to hear about that :-)
Will do!
We paid off our house in May 2019, so we have been consumer debt free for 11 years now, and completely debt free (mortgage included) for nearly a year. It has been amazing. We will never go back.
Not been negative here but paying rent is not debt free
Debt free without house payments is easy .
Anyway well done keep up the effort
I do not agree that rent is debt. It's a bill/expense that is no different than internet or electricity
Even if you pay off your house, you still have property taxes... so would you call that debt? Rent is just another living expense.
Brian
Just living is an expense. Point is earn more, save more, spend less and passive income
EMAW!
EMAW!
