Today I am sharing 7 tips that Dave Ramsey shares that we NO LONGER follow on our debt free journey. We've been on our restarted debt free journey for almost two years. We originally got our start with the Dave Ramsey community and followed the baby steps closely at first, however, over time we realized that his steps no longer aligned with what we wanted. This was a video request and it was a really fun video to film, to reflect on the progress we've made over these last two years even when not following the "rules" strictly 😊
