When I think about our debt payoff story, it really does put a lump in my throat. Not just because of what Erik and I accomplished, but because I think about how we're setting up our future grandkids and great-grandkids to be better off than we are.

I think every generation has this desire for their kids to be better off than they were. I know our parents did.
