Getting Out of Debt

The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus

My husband and I were in debt before we ever got married. He had significant student loans, and I have accrued a couple of thousand dollars in credit card debt right after college. I also had a car payment when we got married. It has taken us four years, but we are now finally debt free for the first time. My husband is far more efficient and organized when it comes to our finances. While we both work, he is the one who deals with all of the bills and our various payments. He is also the one who recently switched us to fixed-rate energy by looking into shop electricity rates Texas. When it comes to our finances, I trust his judgment. He rarely makes a decision without thinking through all of the choices, and I know he does a better job than I would at managing our family’s finances. He is a really good man, and he is also very organized. It is so interesting how people with very different personalities end up falling in love. That is exactly what happened to my husband and I.
