Bob and Jen McDonough were normal Americans with four children, made a lot of money, and enjoyed life. They had two cars with payments, a 2nd mortgage, spent $1,000 a month on dining, paid off credit cards with 401K loans, and thought they were doing great.  But one of their four children caused them to sacrifice all that “living”.

Bob and Jen share their story of why they decided to make a drastic change in their life, including working 8 different jobs last year to pay off debt and START GIVING while paying off their ton of debt!  Listen to their inspiring story of who they were, who they are now, and who they hope to become.

If you were inspired to give and don’t know where to start, why not make a donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at www.JDRF.org.

    Wow thanks for sharing Steve! A great story that is very inspirational on many levels. I can’t wait until I hear when they pay off the second mortgage.

      I can’t either. They weren’t my clients but I may just have to adopt them so they don’t get taken away by someone else! We may have to have them call in an update when they are done (and let us know what Friday they plan to call the Dave Ramsey Show).

    So Alex, did you cry? I don’t think it warrants tears but it should get people reved up and ready to knock out some debt!
