About Jenn
Hey I’m Jenn & I’m so excited to meet you!
I’m a millennial, wife, dog-mom, and Disney lover with a travel obsession! I have big dreams of traveling the world but we had just one problem: debt.
I grew up in a family that travelled, we were lucky enough to take some family trips and I have such fond memories of them! I knew I wanted to travel, but I also knew I wanted to have a financially stable life, so I got some student loans, went to college and settled into my job as a Massage Therapist. We got married, and bought a house. I thought I was doing everything right…
But 2017 when I started this blog my husband and I had $26,556.64 in student loan debt, and then we had gotten a mortgage on top of it! Debt repayment was eating up our monthly income and getting in the way of our dreams to travel. That’s when I decided it was time for a change. I started Will Save For Travel to keep myself accountable and help other people with personal finance!
I started reading books and blogs, making spreadsheets and budgeting. I found the Zero Based Budgeting method, which helped me manage our money in a way that made sense to me. We made a goal of being debt free by September 2019.
In July 2019 we officially became debt free after 21 months of hard work (2 months early!). It wasn’t always easy, and I’m so thankful for those of you that have cheered us on along the way.
Now we are traveling more than ever, planning exciting trips around the world and here at home in Nova Scotia, Canada.
I’m here to show you that you can have your cake and eat it too; by paying off your debt and being financially free, you’ll have more money for the things you love!
