EPISODE 2: BROKE HABITS, RICH FUTURE 💰

One of the BIGGEST things that helped us pay off EVERY dollar of debt and stay debt-free for 10+ years?

SMALL WINS.

Getting out of debt isn’t just math. It’s behavior, too.

Paying high-interest debt first can save money, but watching smaller debts DISAPPEAR gave us motivation to keep going!

HERE’S THE PLAN:

💰 STEP 1: FACE THE NUMBERS. List EVERY debt, its balance and minimum payment. Credit cards, cars, student loans… ALL of it!

💰 STEP 2: MAKE A PAYOFF PLAN. Use FREE Excel or Google Sheets. List debts smallest to largest, regardless of interest. Pay ALL minimums, but put every EXTRA dollar toward the smallest balance.

💰 STEP 3: TRACK IT DAILY! Watch balances shrink! Once a debt is gone, roll its entire payment into the next smallest.

💰 STEP 4: DON’T GIVE UP! Repeat until EVERY debt is GONE!

REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE:
Say you owe…
 💳 Credit card: $1,000 | $50/mo 🚗 Car loan: $8,000 | $300/mo 🎓 Student loan: $15,000 | $200/mo

Minimum payments total $550/month.

Now imagine cutting expenses frees up an EXTRA $400/month.

💰 FIRST: Pay $450/month toward your credit card ($50 + $400 extra). Keep paying the other minimums.

💰 NEXT: Once the card is paid off, roll that $450 into your $300 car payment. Now you’re paying $750/month!

💰 FINALLY: Once the car is paid off, roll that $750 into your $200 student loan payment. Now you’re paying $950/month!

You started with $400 EXTRA, but now you’re attacking your final debt with $950 EVERY MONTH!

Your payments get BIGGER while your list of debts gets SMALLER! 🙌

Every payoff eliminates another monthly obligation.

Is this always the cheapest method? NO. Paying higher-interest debt first can save more. But sometimes the strategy you’ll actually STICK WITH is what changes your life.

It took us SEVEN YEARS to pay off everything, including our mortgage. One sacrifice, one decision, one balance at a time.

Start TODAY, even with just $50 extra!

☕ REAL ESTATE OVER COFFEE | Let’s talk about the spending habits that quietly keep us from building wealth.

Here’s something we learned while paying off every dollar of our debt…

It’s not always the BIG financial decisions that make the biggest difference. Sometimes it’s the hundreds of little ones we make every single month.

Before we could start building real wealth, we had to get comfortable spending LESS than we made. And that meant making sacrifices that weren’t always fun or glamorous.

But here’s what surprised us: we actually started enjoying life MORE.

We’ve now been completely debt-free for over 10 years, and I can tell you that financial peace is worth far more than keeping up appearances.

And as someone who sells beach houses for a living, I’ll be the first to tell you: I WANT you to buy that beach house, take that vacation, and make those investments.

I just want you to be financially prepared to actually ENJOY them. 😉

Spend on what you love. Skip what you won’t miss. Invest the difference. 💰

📌 SAVE this post and challenge yourself to find $200-$400 in unnecessary monthly spending.

EPISODE 1: BROKE HABITS, RICH FUTURE 💰

We’ve been completely debt-free for over 10 years. But we did NOT start with a lot of money. For several years, we lived solely on Adam’s teacher salary while I figured out my career.

We made some uncomfortable decisions, including getting out of a terrible real estate investment, selling Adam’s nice Toyota Tacoma, and replacing it with a $3,000 Ford we paid CASH for.

And that was just the beginning.

STEP 1: STOP THE FINANCIAL BLEEDING.

Before building wealth, we had to STOP spending money we didn’t need to spend.

Here’s where I’d start TODAY:

💰 Cancel subscriptions. Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+… If you can live without it for a few months, CANCEL IT.

💰 Pause the gym membership. Walk, work out at home, or use free apps like FitOn (my favorite!).

💰 Cut unnecessary spending. Nails, drinks, impulse shopping. And stay OUT of TJ Maxx and Marshalls if you’re anything like me. 🫣 That $20 trip somehow becomes $400.

💰 Simplify groceries. Cut specialty foods, unnecessary upgrades, eating out, and takeout. It adds up FAST.

💰 AUDIT EVERY DOLLAR. Pull your last few months of bank and credit card statements. Go through EVERY charge. Highlight what you can eliminate and stop spending on anything unnecessary.

Here’s what surprised me…

We actually started enjoying life MORE with less stuff.

We realized how much we were spending on things that weren’t making us happier.

The goal was NEVER to live this way forever.

It was about making temporary sacrifices for the FREEDOM to spend our money, time, and energy on what actually mattered.

And that freedom has been worth EVERY sacrifice.

You don’t have to make a ton of money to change your financial future. But you DO have to change your habits.

Follow for Episode 2: How we tackled debt and why I don’t always recommend paying off the highest interest rate first. 👀

📌 SAVE this post and find $200 in unnecessary monthly spending TODAY. That’s $2,400 a year toward becoming debt-free!

BROKE HABITS, RICH FUTURE 🧡 | THE INTRO

What if the biggest thing standing between you and financial freedom isn’t how much money you make… but what you’re doing with the money you already have?

Our family has been living completely debt-free for over 10 years, but getting here took a whole lot of sacrifice, discipline, mistakes, and some pretty uncomfortable decisions along the way.

And we definitely didn’t start with deep pockets!

That’s why I’m launching Broke Habits, Rich Future, a series sharing the REAL steps we took to get out of debt, change our relationship with money, and start building wealth.

Because here’s something I’ve learned…

💰 Making more money doesn’t automatically make you wealthy.

💰 Living below your means is a habit, not an income level.

💰 You can’t build financial freedom while constantly trying to keep up with everyone else.

💰 Small financial decisions, repeated consistently, can completely change your future.

And most importantly, it’s NEVER too late to start.

Whether you’re 25, 45, or 65, you can’t change yesterday’s financial decisions. But you CAN change what you do with your next paycheck.

I’m not a financial planner, and I’m definitely not promising some overnight success story. Just sharing what actually worked for our family, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently.

Because the goal isn’t to LOOK wealthy. It’s to build a life where your money gives you OPTIONS, freedom, and a whole lot less financial stress.

So if you’re ready to stop working just to pay everyone else, stick around. We’re talking about ALL of it!

And in the meantime, maybe stop clicking every little thing that says SHOP NOW. 😉

Follow along for Episode 1: Broke Habits, Rich Future. Let’s make financial freedom the goal, not keeping up appearances. 🫶

You think real estate negotiations are tough? Try negotiating with three boys before 8 AM. 😂☕️

I’ve negotiated contracts while in labor, with a baby on my hip, from the sidelines of sporting events, and just about everywhere in between.

20 years in real estate and 15 years of motherhood have taught me patience, persistence, how to think on my feet, and most importantly, how to pick my battles.

And I’ve learned that sometimes the best negotiation strategy is knowing when to push, when to listen, and when to let someone think it was their idea. 😉

I’ll hype you up, but I’ll also always tell you the truth. I’ll keep my cool when things get complicated, and I’ll fight for your best interests every step of the way.

Because behind all the humor, your financial decisions are something I take very seriously.

Thick skin, soft heart, and a whole lot of experience. 🤍☕️

📌 Save this for when you need a Realtor who can handle the chaos AND get results.

Want to be in a completely different financial position in 2027? Start NOW. 💰

You don’t need to wait until January 1 to start making better financial decisions.

If I were starting over, these are three things I’d prioritize:

1️⃣ Build an emergency fund in a High Yield Savings Account so unexpected expenses don’t send you straight back into debt, and you start earning interest on your money at the same time!

2️⃣ Make a plan to eliminate high-interest consumer debt. The less interest you’re paying the bank, the more money you can keep for yourself. Start with the SMALLEST debt first, so you feel like you genuinely accomplished something once that first debt is paid off… trust me, this will motivate you to pay off the rest!

3️⃣ Get rid of that car payment! Drive what you can afford, pay it off, and then start making those monthly payments to YOURSELF instead (into your HYSA, of course 😉).

When we were working our way out of debt, we made some pretty significant sacrifices. We didn’t eat out, drove older cars, and questioned just about every dollar we spent.

Was it always fun? Absolutely not. 😂

But those temporary sacrifices gave us something we wouldn’t trade for anything today: financial freedom and peace of mind.

And here’s the thing. You don’t have to change everything overnight. You just have to decide what matters most and start making choices that move you closer to it.

Spend on what you love. Skip what you won’t miss. Invest the difference.
