We interviewed Heather \u2014 music lover, gamer, and reader \u2014 to find out about her and her husband\u2019s journey through debt and how they more than landed on their feet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  • Debt Amount: $38,721<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Started: March 2021<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Graduated: July 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

    Robert and I live with our four dogs \u2014 Quinn, Captain, Willow, and Max. We take walks around our property \u2014 we have a couple acres in the country now, and it\u2019s beautiful.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    He works for a company that does 0% medical financing with hospitals and clinics. He loves it \u2014 he\u2019s helping other people stay out of debt!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019m going back to school \u2014 I had started studying Psychology back in 2005, but I had a lot of health stuff happen that shelved me for quite some time. With new treatments, I\u2019m finally at a point where I can look at doing that again.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    You made it possible for us to be where we love, in the house we love, and to start looking forward again \u2014 to things like going back to school and just enjoying life.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

    The big one was my medical situation. Insurance only covers so much, and a lot of the treatments and procedures had ridiculous copays upfront. Then there were surprise moving expenses when we moved from Texas to Arizona. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \n

    We also had two dogs with medical issues. It was just a combination of trying to keep up with everything at once, and it got out of hand.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It was definitely stressful, especially since I wasn\u2019t able to be working. We were constantly worrying \u2014 about affording our dogs\u2019 insulin, my medications, just everything. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    We thought we\u2019d never be able to buy a house or have the kind of space we wanted. It weighed on us a lot.<\/em><\/em> It got to the point where even making minimum payments wasn\u2019t helping. We had things maxed out, trying to buy groceries and cover medical needs. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    Since Robert\u2019s worked in finance, he had heard about Beyond Finance \u2014 either from someone he worked with or through conversation. We talked about it and decided to give you a call.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The person we talked to was very confident in what they could accomplish for us. They knew what they were talking about and made it clear this wasn\u2019t about selling something \u2014 they genuinely wanted to help.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Robert and I looked at each other and said, \u201cYeah, let\u2019s do it.\u201d It didn\u2019t feel like a sales pitch; it felt like someone taking an active interest in helping our situation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When we hung up, it was the first time we felt a little hope. Like we could breathe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And when we paid off our first account \u2014 That was a celebration! It really proved we made the right decision. Every time one was paid off, it felt like taking a little more weight off the scale.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    I don\u2019t remember the exact number of how much you lowered our payments by, but I know it was at least by half.<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>It changed everything and quickly. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We were able to move into a house \u2014 we worked with a company where you get pre-approved, the company buys the house, and you rent it while a portion of what you pay is set aside so you can buy the house from the company in two years if you want to. After two years we were able to finance it officially.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What was it like when you graduated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    That was the scale completely tipping the other way \u2014 we could finally breathe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The biggest difference we noticed \u2014 just aside from not having so much crushing pressure of debt every day \u2014 is [paying off debt] over that course of time and building the credit back up basically is what helped us achieve our 21-year dream of moving to the country and buying our [new] house that we love and where we want to stay.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some people worry that doing a Beyond Finance program will make it difficult to purchase a home. Was that your experience?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    No, I think it\u2019s the opposite. It helps tremendously. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    What\u2019s life like now that you\u2019re debt-free?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We just moved to our new place at the end of June. It was built in 1870, but it’s in perfect condition. We\u2019ve both felt more at peace \u2014 we finally live where we\u2019ve always wanted to be, surrounded by nature. We\u2019ve started hiking, and we just love it here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And we\u2019re able to do things we couldn\u2019t before \u2014 like take little weekend trips or splurge on a nice seafood dinner once a month. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    We can spoil our dogs more, and we don\u2019t have to worry constantly about where the money\u2019s coming from.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beyond Finance just flipped the scale \u2014 from crushing weight to freedom. It helped us pay off everything and achieve our lifelong goal.<\/em> You made it possible for us to be where we love, in the house we love, and to start looking forward again \u2014 to things like going back to school and just enjoying life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
