@every.dollar: Most couples have their first real money conversation after the wedding. Katie & Will had it over steak while they were still dating. Katie brought it up. She'd found the show, had always kept a budget, and decided they were paying off their debt before they got married, each of them, independently. Will was skeptical at first and kept spending while she followed the plan. She told him plainly that if he was going to be in her future, he needed to get on board. He sold his car. He picked up work at FedEx. He paid off $45,000 in 18 months while she cleared $102,000 in 30. EveryDollar users Katie & Will got married one month ago, $147,000 lighter, with their first joint budget meeting already behind them, and nothing but options ahead. Their key to success: "Don't let other people get in your head. Do what's going to work for you and your future."
