After becoming debt-free, they adopted a rule in which they committed to not buying anything if they could not afford to purchase it in cash.

"This has helped us to stay away from debt and instead use that money to spend quality time as a family through our travels.
"In the past two years, we've received three work promotions as a family in total, and with that, we decided not to upgrade our lifestyle. In return, this has allowed us to have more money in our pockets, which we use to travel the world and to save for our future goals," shared @lifewithntosh, who added that both she and her husband contribute financially to their trips.
