Now, they are couple goals!
Pharmacists and husband and wife duo, Dr. Bryant and Alexandria Watson, have been prescribed a new kind of wellness — financial freedom. This week, the couple took to their social media to announce they’ve successfully paid off more than $300,000 in under five years.
“We’re debt-free,” Alexandria wrote in her excited Instagram post. “No handouts. No loan forgiveness programs. No surprise inheritance. Just God, massive action, focus, and determination. We did it!”
She had $140,000 in debt, her husband $160,000. The two of them had been paying down their loans individually, for three years, but then they came together to knock out the payments. She believes that the key to their success was working together.
“There is power in coming together for a common cause,” she wrote. “I have so much I want to share with y’all. My heart is truly set on inspiring hope that turns into action for as many young new grads as I can reach, so stay tuned!”
Alexandria, who is also a lifestyle coach, wrote that she wants their story to inspire those struggling with student loans not to give up.
“To anyone who says they are going to die with their student loans... I hope you will reconsider,” She wrote. “I hope our story I am going to be sharing pushes you to write a new story for yourself. Because trust me, if we can… you can too!”
Now that they’ve lifted the burden of debt off their shoulders, their next step is building wealth and leaving a legacy that follows them well after they’re gone.
This is a fantastic feat! Congratulations, Watsons!
