Today I'm giving up energy drinks. I probably have 5 a week ( mostly at work)

I admit , I'm addicted. I did quit for awhile a free months back ... I don't know why I started again.
If I buy at Walmart they are $.99 if I get them at work it's like $2.50. I was averaging $8.70 a week in energy drinks. $450 a year.
That is most of the 6 months premium on our car insurance. 😤😫😩
Our goal is to have $0 debt within 5 years. We are $8k away from that goal.
An extra $36 a month towards my student loan principal would get us there faster.
Then onto our next goal. Buying a small plot of land and building a house. Then living #gazellelife until it's paid off and we are back to $0 debt.
Life long goal:
RETIRE COMPLETELY DEBT FREE!!!!!

I'm so envious of my SIL. She's not yet 40, and she and her husband are 100% debt free. They bought a house in foreclosure about 5 years ago, improved it, sold it this year and banked almost $200k. Paid off all their debt. Now they're going to Hawaii and Thailand and just living the life. Meanwhile, we are 1 year into a 30 year mortgage 🤣🤣 ugh.

@lovelily it's never to late. Check out the book. "Total money makeover." You could get your house paid off in half the time. We plan on "aging in place" once we build our home. And are super focused on maxing out retirement plans every year. I don't want to have any worries once we retire. We live a very frugal but comfortable lifestyle right now. But it will all be worth it when we retire and don't have to live off SS.
