Our journey to financial independence started a little bit after we were married. We are frugal people, but it is our discipline to a budget and hard work that has led us to where we are at. Our goal is to show what we did to get out of debt and on the path to wealth. We know the principles that we use work and that they can help others in their pursuit for financial independence and wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thefundfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018-01-16-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trevorrumsey.com\/thefundfamily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018-01-16.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/trevorrumsey.com\/thefundfamily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018-01-16.jpg?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What we are good at<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tara is an excellent at keeping our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefundfamily.com\/set-budget-start-ensure-success\/\">budgets<\/a> exciting and on track and I like to plan to long-term goals.
