The Story of Andhara Early and Her Husband Emptying Savings to be Free from Mortgage Interest

Dream - Andhara Early and her husband, Bugi Ramadhana, have struggled to pay off their Home Ownership Loan (KPR). The couple, who got married in 2011, were willing to drain their savings to pay off the house installments.

It's not one or five years, Andhara and her husband decided to pay off the remaining KPR installments, which reached 12 more years.

"Alhamdulillah KPR PAID OFF!! With a little force, we finally decided to pay off the KPR debt that should have been around 12 more years," wrote Andhara Early quoted by Dream, Friday, April 28, 2023.

According to Andhara, the decision she and her husband made was quite daring because their current family income is unstable.

"I and Bugi are currently both lawyers (unemployed with many events) and anchovy farmers (taking care of children and wives)," she added.

Andhara Early Astrawinata, her full name, was determined to pay off the house KPR because she did not want to be involved in usury. She also realized the difficulty of struggling to free herself from KPR debt.

But Andhara Early believes that paying off the KPR debt and usury is the best way and she entrusts everything to the Almighty.

"KPR fighters must know how painful it is from usury. The title must be DARING but Bismillah, with the intention for the sake of Allah, Allah is Good, He makes it easy, He helps with all the processes. Hopefully, it will be made easy to save again for house renovation," she said.

She also hopes that people who have experienced similar things and read her post will find ease.

"Hopefully, those who read my post will also be given ease by Allah SWT, Ameen," she said.
