Little actions create big reactions over time 👏🏼
I often read blogs or posts of people who paid off debt that sold a car, or a boat, or a house and paid off a HUGE chunk of debt overnight. And if that is their journey, I love it for them. But those can feel frustrating for someone who doesn’t have a boat, car, or house to sell to make the progress towards their debt.
