Enam and Carlin were college sweethearts who are now married in North Carolina, sharing their home with three sons and the looming spectre of over $200,000 of debt. The source of their financial situation is largely student loans, but also out of pocket medical expenses for one of their sons who suffers from sickle-cell disease. Both are incredibly hard working with Enam holding down jobs as a financial representative and an esthetician and Carlin working as a police officer and an ordained minister while both also share vocations as youth pastors at their church. The couple come from families where they are the only college graduates and they hope to forge a new path for the future of their children. While they struggle to get onto the road to financial freedom, they pray the Going From Broke teams can help them draw the roadmap that will get them there.
