We had just finished building our dream home<\/a> only a few years ago.\u00a0 My businesses were thriving, and this allowed my wife and I to create a 3-year goal that sounded more like a fairy tale \u2014 paying off our mortgage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We had roughly $450,000 in our home, but we only had around $250,000 left to pay it off.\u00a0 We were already ahead of the curve compared to most, but to have it completely paid off BEFORE my oldest son started high school was hard to accept as a possibility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In our case, it wasn\u2019t just a possibility.\u00a0 It was becoming a reality\u2026<\/p>\n

Well, that is until God gave us the nudge to sell our dream home, uproot our family and move out of state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly what we did; we sold our home to start a new life in Nashville, Tennessee. <\/p>\n

But, the road to get there wasn\u2019t easy, and we hit a lot of bumps along the way. When we started thinking about a move to Nashville, we quickly discovered buying a similar home in such a booming area would easily cost us 3x or 4x more. <\/p>\n

That seems crazy when I think about it \u2014 the fact we walked away from a cozy financial situation into a new reality with nearly a million dollars in mortgage debt.<\/p>\n

The thing is, our move to Tennessee actually makes so much sense to me now. We were happy where we were, but something needed to change so we could grow and become the family we were meant to be.<\/p>\n
