  1. Sacrifice has definitely been the hardest for us too. I definitely have to put my needs before my wants. But in the end I know it will all be worth it!

  2. Kara is such an inspiration as she is a kind and amazing woman. I have become debt free for awhile now but keep following Kara and her journey because I love to see her family thrive in all they do. Such an amazing family.

  3. Time is also so difficult for me! Even when I am on top of the budget and everything else sometimes it’s just easier to grab a meal on the way home instead of cooking even though #wehavefoodathome 😭

  4. Wow – I can relate to each of your responses. It is so sickening to think of how much money we will have paid to interest on our student loans over the years. Even though the interest is low it is the next debt we have to tackle. Good luck on your goal for 2021!

  5. Kara is such an inspiration! I started following her latest surrogacy journey, but now am sticking around and cheering her on as she continues to work toward becoming debt free!

  6. Sticking to our budget has been the toughest adjustment for us! I love following you on Instagram and cheering you on! You are such an inspiration!!

  7. Budgeting for sure has helped me too. I didn’t realize how much money had just gone to waste. I track all of my expenses now.
