Big dreams

We are an ordinary couple with big dreams.

For the last ten years we have been living with my wife's mother while struggling to save for a home. Hayden has had an IVA hanging over his head through debts he mounted up when he was 19 years old. Rebecca for whatever reason thought it was worth the wait and stuck by him while he sorted out his debts.

When the couple met Hayden was a chef making around £7 an hour and to be honest with that type of income there was no way any saving was happening! Rebecca had already sorted out her debts but had her own issues to take care of health wise. With diabetes already in her family it became apparent that she had to get her butt to the gym.

In the early years neither of us cared enough to make a change in the way we lived our lives, all that mattered was getting through the day and getting a day off together from time to time.

Fast forward ten years and things are changing. Hayden is no longer a chef having self taught himself to design websites he took a position within a web design company where he has worked for the last five years. The IVA has finished which means it really is now onto phase two of their wonderful lives together with dreams to own a home, run a business and have a family.

Having known about wealthy affiliate for some years now, it was really only a matter of time before we joined and took it seriously. This is the first of many posts as you join us in our success story!
