About Erin’s Journey to Debt Freedom

Hello and welcome!  My name is Erin, and I am a mom of 2 little girls. My husband is a stay at home dad, and I work at a hospital as a physical therapist. While it is a career that pays fairly well, it came with over $150,000 worth of student loans. Combining that with student loans from undergrad, car loans, and a mortgage left me feeling as if I was absolutely drowning in debt. It was very disheartening because I felt like I worked hard my whole life and did everything I was supposed to do, but still somehow ended up in such a bad financial position. Determined to make a change, I immersed myself in the world of finance to learn as much as I could to create a better life for myself and my family. I have learned so much and completely changed my mindset around money.

Although I am still paying off my debt, my whole world has changed. I know I am capable of becoming debt free while still living an enjoyable and fun life with my family. I want to share what I’ve learned and provide a supportive and encouraging environment to other mamas like myself. My goal with this blog is to not only empower women to take control of their finances, but to provide education and resources on how to teach their children about money. I know a financial education when I was young would have completely changed my life as an adult.

So once again, welcome. I am so happy that we can take this journey toward debt freedom and financial independence together.
