// CONGRATS SARAH! //

This weekend we celebrated Sarah for becoming debt free. We met with her every 3 months over 2.5 years and in that time she paid off $17,000 in debt and saved $3,000 to date. She is well on her way to a 6 month emergency fund. Oh and let's not forget that murphy came to visit every few months. She had her own struggles but piled on top was good ol murphy. Those tests and trials might of slowed her down but she preserved and pushed through by the grace of God. She didn't give up! {the KEY to success!} Even though she wanted to at times.

Sarah also has a community around her like no other. At the party she took some time to thank everyone for the countless acts of kindness. It could bring tears to your eyes the way everyone came together to support her in her journey to financial freedom. We'll share just a few with you.

Yard work, installing her sink for free, countless lunches & dinners, paid for beach trip to Destin for 7 days, paid for Miami trip for a weekend, gutters cleaned, New Orleans trip, money for her to travel to Utah when her mother passed away, Starbucks coffee, random small gifts, inviting her over for home cooked meals, flowers, and a TON of words of encouragement along the way. I don't know about you but I was blown away during this process. Not every client is blessed with such a supportive community.

Please give her a BIG round of applause. Woo hoo! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Kids and money. Do you ever hide what is going on financially with your kids? Well my advice is be open and teach them while they are young. Obviously use discretion, but there's nothing wrong with telling them why you are purchasing something or why you can't or chose not to purchase something. They will grow up having to make the same decisions as us in life so why not teach them how to handle it. They begin to better appreciate the value of a dollar if you make them earn one and then let them spend it. My kids LOVE our monthly trip to the gas station or local store for them to buy something with the money they've earned. You should see their faces. It's priceless.
