Today, we have an incredible story about Deacon and Kim Hayes, a couple who managed to wipe out $52,000 of debt in just 18 months. Their journey is a testament to determination, discipline, and the power of a solid plan. 

Deacon and Kim's story begins like many others. They were living the American dream—nice house, two cars, and all the trappings of a comfortable life. But beneath the surface, they were drowning in debt. Credit cards, car loans, student loans—you name it, they had it. The weight of owing $52,000 was taking a toll on their peace of mind and their relationship.

The turning point came one evening when they sat down to discuss their future. They realized that if they didn't make a change, they'd be stuck in this cycle forever. Deacon crunched the numbers and proposed an ambitious plan: pay off all their debt in under two years. Kim was initially skeptical, but she trusted Deacon's judgment. They both knew it would require sacrifices and a complete overhaul of their lifestyle.
