We caught up with Rose Mary \u2014 Army veteran, world traveler, plant lover, and Beyond Finance graduate \u2014 to hear how life has changed since graduating from Beyond Finance in November of 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  • Debt Amount: $45,920<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Started: February 2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Graduated: November 2022<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Can you tell us a bit about yourself?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I live in El Paso, Texas with my sister and my son lives in the apartment upstairs. I\u2019m turning 70 this year, and am a military retiree \u2014 I served as a computer operator in the Army. These days, I stay busy volunteering at the local botanical garden (as the treasurer!), doing secret shopping, and riding recumbent bikes twice a week. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ve also got two kids \u2014 my son works at the botanical garden, and my daughter is a lawyer in Colorado. I also have a 5-year-old granddaughter, Kyla Rose.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n
    \n

    When my first account was paid off, it was almost like when you try and try again to make a perfect recipe \u2014 and finally the pie crust is perfect!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    How did you find yourself in debt?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve always paid my bills on time, but I fell into debt after trying to fix a dangerous retaining wall on my mom\u2019s property. I took out high-interest loans \u2014 I call them \u201cloan shark loans.\u201d The debt piled up, and even though I was keeping up with payments, I was barely treading water. And I couldn\u2019t refinance the home because of my debt-to-income ratio. The man I talked to actually recommended Beyond Finance to me.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    What was your experience like with Beyond Finance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When my first account was paid off, it was almost like when you try and try again to make a perfect recipe \u2014 and finally the pie crust is perfect! <\/em> (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once that first one came \u2014 my first bill was paid \u2014 then I said, okay, this is actually true. I don\u2019t have to have even an inkling of a worry after that. I knew this was a real thing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    What\u2019s happened since graduating from Beyond Finance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I went to Korea the month I graduated! I stayed there for about a month with an Army friend.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just recently I finished a four-week, 7,000-mile journey with my son \u2014 El Paso to Huntsville, Alabama, to Florida and the Keys, Bahamas, New York, D.C., Niagara Falls, Chicago \u2014 all of that. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    And I\u2019ve got money saved \u2014 about $4,000 in an emergency fund \u2014 and more tucked away in a separate account for property taxes. I also started an account for my granddaughter when she was still tiny \u2014 I think it has around $15,000 in there now. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also have an account for home renovations! I\u2019m going to use some of that to do some fixing on the eaves of my house. I\u2019ve already put in new tile, fixed up kitchens, repaired fireplaces, and handled everything this 120-year-old house throws at me!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I bought a car and a truck that I\u2019m paying little by little \u2014 but that\u2019s it. No credit. I have a bunch of credit cards, but they all have zero balances. I\u2019m never going to get in that situation again. I\u2019m happier now.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
