The conversation focuses on budgeting, financial planning, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle while aggressively paying down loans. The speakers are not identified as Jim Dahle.
You got this out of your life pretty early. How come you were so motivated to take care of your debt right at the beginning of your career?
I remember getting out of undergrad, having 60,000, and then just feeling like, man, I'm about to tack on over 300,000 onto this. And that just kind of weighed on me heavy. And so in the beginning, I read your book, I started listening to the podcast, and then we just made a decision together. We're like, well, let's just start putting towards it. In the beginning, we created a plan, but before the idea of your financial advisor, eventually, later on, but we created a plane before got a budget. And then we just kind of lived our life the way that we felt like was appropriate for us. We still had fun, we still took vacations, we still enjoyed sort of little things that we deemed was important in our life, and then just put everything else towards loans, and then just it almost as if we didn't have that money, it was never there, just went straight towards it, so it was never in our heads.
