MEET OUR GUEST

Sarah Brandenberger joined the debt free community in 2017 before it was even the #debtfreecommunity! In addition to her day job, she waitressed her way out of debt. Sarah and her husband paid off over $118,000 in consumer debt.

With both spouses being natural spenders, super saving and penny pinching their way to financial independence was not appealing. Her husband always dreamed of owning rental properties, and after some research, Sarah was hooked.

Today they have 4 houses, one piece of land, and no costumer debt.
