Today’s episode is going to be a little different.Instead of the normal interview based format, I wanted to do a more timely holiday edition.
I want to thank Experian for the inspiration behind todays episode.Recently, Experian put out a survey to 1,000 about holidays, spending, and debt. And honestly, the results broke my heart a little bit, so I wanted to share the findings.

#MONEYWIN

Rebecca– “I’ve decided to move back home with family to save over $1,600/month to payoff credit card debt. I’ve mapped out my plan and I’m committed for 2017 for a max of 6 mons of being at home (4 hour commute to work, 2hrs each way) I’m also working on my side hustle to bring in extra income and putting it straight towards debt. I just sold 2/3 of my furniture via Facebook for $700 today and feel closer to my goal of being credit card debt-free.” #moneywins
