Today we are talking with Jason Cabler, owner of Celebrating Financial Freedom.
How have you been personally affected by debt?
One of the biggest ways I've been affected by debt was the tension it caused in our marriage. Having that debt hanging over our head was a huge concern that affected our stress level and our happiness. When my wife Angie and I finally came to agreement that we needed to do something and we actually made a plan and did it, it actually brought us closer together and enhanced our relationship because we were tackling the problem together instead of laying blame.
How did you manage to get out of debt?
We got out of debt after participating in a popular get out of debt course that inspired us to get moving. Once we decided what we needed to do, we just followed our plan and a couple of years later we were out of debt except for the house. I became so inspired that I even ended up developing my own course!
What is your blog about?
My blog is about learning to become debt free and live a debt free lifestyle from a Christian perspective. I believe debt is a terrible use of your money and having zero debt will bring HUGE blessings to your life if you just commit to doing it.
Does your blog give you the opportunity to give back to others dealing with debt?
I'm able to give back through teaching my Celebrating Financial Freedom course at my church, and also through all the great free advice you'll find on my blog. My goal is to change as many lives as possible just like ours were changed when we got ourselves free from the bondage that is debt.
What is your best piece of financial advice?
My best piece of financial advice is threefold:
1. Decide you're going to get out of debt, no matter what.
2. Make a plan.
3. Stick to the plan.
It's very simple, but most people overanalyze it and make it too difficult. Those 3 steps are all that you need.
At CareOne we believe personal experiences are what make an expert.
