I love that, Janet! Yes, I think Covid has taught all of us something. We have had a lot of time to reflect on our priorities and it has been wonderful. PLUS, my husband gets to work from home now and we love having him here!

It’s nice to be home more, cook healthier and spend less on things that I didn’t really value anyway. A lot about this year hasn’t been fun, but I do appreciate the eye-opener that I got.

Hey Frankie! You are right. Anything we choose to live by or work towards CAN become a rat race. However, for us, being debt-free has never felt like a rat race. We still spend money and have tons of fun. We just don’t nickel and dime ourselves until we’ve wasted it all. We’re very intentional about our spending. Just check out our bucket list of everything we’ve been trying to accomplish since becoming debt-free! https://bighouseinthewoods.com/bucket-list/

We don’t live for the american dream either! And are also debt free, but we can always spend less on things we don’t need lol and we strive to do that! Thank you for the encouragement!
