When my husband and I bought this condo six years ago, I set a goal for myself to pay off the mortgage in five years. This was an absurd goal because my income at the time was literally $20K/year. But with determination, and a healthy dose of delusion, over the following five years, I grew my YouTube channel, and my income, and as of last summer, we were able to pay off our mortgage in full by the end of five years. And I wanna tell you how I did it. I'm so passionate about content creation because of how it can help everyday people reach their financial goals.
