Debt is certainly the worst. Thanks for sharing! I think posting based on topic even while skipping around by date would be interesting. Would love to hear more about your financial journey since listening to the Ramsey show and getting tired of being tired.
Thank you for sharing. As a business owner myself, I can relate to what you were saying about putting your business first. I was considering equity in my home at one point too. I never went that route, but I did get a SBA loan during Covid just to keep my business alive. In hindsight and if I knew then what I know now, I would have made a lot of different decisions. I wouldn’t have taken the loan and I wouldn’t have kept paying rent for an office. I can see now that I was desperate to hold on to everything I had know … I think a lot of us were, and the government dangled a carrot that many of us bit off myself included. Thank you for the reminder of God, Family, Business - I get them out of order sometimes.
Lisa, thank you for your comment! Please be sure to give yourself grace, knowing that the Lord does. What's important now is learning from the circumstances and making sure we are prepared for the next time. No one was ready for Covid. There is a lot I think we all would have done differently. I learned so much through it and today, I'm so grateful for Covid. The Lord brought me closer to him and I made changes that never would have happened if it hadn't been for Covid. God bless you and be sure to reach out if I can ever help in any way. Blessings to you and yours!

Debt can cripple you like nothing else. And complete surrender can free you like nothing else. I pray for anyone struggling with it.
