We have paid off my student loans and personal credit cards and built up Jordan's credit from scratch (he didn't get his first credit card until he was 25). We've dealt with frustrating roommates, bought a new vehicle, designed and built a house, got married (planned our own wedding), adopted two dogs and went on an amazing honey moon in Las Vegas and then... we paid off more debt.
We've both been blessed by our careers - having strong earning potential that's been recognized by our employers has enabled us to continue to reach out and meet our financial goals.
My father passed away in early 2012 and I find myself rethinking priorities all the time - at home, at work - everywhere. Every decision feels different.
Jordan and I are looking forward to starting our own family in the next couple of years and are looking forward to continuing to share our financial journey with you.
As a "kid" starting out I think that you have taken steps that most of the youth do not even think about. I am sure that you will have a great future and will be an asset for any company that you work for. Just the view of a granfather who has lived through the ups and downs of life.
