Thanks for the comments Brent/Dad. Living debt free has brought so much peace and freedom to our lives. We wouldn't have it any other way the rest of our lives. I'm glad we learned this lesson while young.

Congradulations Dustin and Charissa. Makes a Dad proud. Many people spend money to have an image of wealth to have a nice car or home. this is not wealth. Real wealth is when you have money invested and it makes money for you. I drive a 1996 Jeap with 170,000 miles on it. I make 200K a year but would rather put my money where it can work for me in the future instead of a new car. I also buy experiences rather than a lot of things. after you buy an expensive car you are excited for a few days then the newness fades and you soon regret your purchase. I read a bood by a millionaire who said that the only thing you should go into debt for is that which goes up in value. Brent Bunker

Thanks for the comment Scott! Great way to go is to not have a credit score. Credit score simply measures how well you get into debt and pay it back… what a dumb algorithm.

Yeah, in my mind, there's no debt that really makes you money… why not save up and pay in cash?!
