You read that right. We paid off over $60,000 of debt in 3 years! Not only did we pay the debt off, we fully funded our emergency fund during that time as well. This was no easy task as we were faced with setbacks and temptations almost daily. So first let me explain what the debt was.

WE HAD WHAT I LIKE TO CALL THE "BIG 3"!

• Credit cards
• Student loans
• Car Notes

Lets be honest.  Not everyone enjoys spreadsheets, budgets, and numbers as much as I do, which is understandable.  Budget burnout issomething that most of us face when you trying to reach our financial goals.

My husband and I experienced this a couple of years ago.  We were in the middle of getting out of debt and felt like random expenses were just falling from the sky.  We had to have our house painted, pay for a busted pipe at our rental home, pay hefty car expenses all within a matter of months.  This is when we first experienced BUDGET BURNOUT!  It didn't last long and we eventually still met our financial goals.  I have a few tips that helped us during that time and ways to prevent it from happening.
