| #069: Paying Off Debt with Kendra Gonzales | 01 Sep 2022 | 00:24:39 | |
Years ago, a fellow teacher and friend came to my classroom to talk to me about something that felt very vulnerable and scary to share. She knew I was passionate about personal finances, and she needed help - fast! She was pregnant with her second child. The problem was her and her husband were living paycheck to paycheck and couldn't afford daycare. They needed to find a way to afford an extra $900 a month. Plus they were in serious credit card debt and had little to no savings. Her and her husband came to my house and we laid everything out on the table. Kendra and her husband walked away with a plan and today, just 4 years later, Kendra has an inspiring story to share that I think will be a pivotal moment to my listener's success and motivation when it comes to paying off debt.

Last month, our family returned from an 8-night vacation in Canada where we hiked up majestic mountains, skipped rocks in gorgeous glacier fed lakes, experienced orcas in their element, and encountered six bears. This family trip had been in the works for almost an entire year. And when we started planning this vacation, our goal was simple: we wanted to travel hack as much of it as we possibly could.

If you've ever googled "How to start a side hustle" or "How to make money online," you're going to want to listen to this episode. It's no secret that people have been leaving their corporate 9-5 jobs in droves since 2020.

Credit scores. A little 3-digit number can be the difference between living in that dream apartment or only getting accepted to a low-light basement suite rental.

I'm not going to lie to you - I'm a little bit nervous about releasing this episode. Partly because I'm talking about something that I have experience in, but not professional training in. And also, because I'm going to be very vulnerable and open here. I'm going to be sharing something about myself that not a lot of people know about. And usually, when they do find out about it, they're pretty shocked. And that is: I struggle with anxiety and depression. I need to add this disclaimer: I am not a therapist. I am not a psychiatrist. My experiences with the subject that I'm speaking on today stem from my own personal experiences. If you've ever battled with anxiety or depression, you understand that our money doesn't care about our mental status. Life still goes on. Bills still need to be paid. This is why it's so important to create systems and safeguards for our money so that when our mental state isn't the best, our money can still do what it needs to do.
