College dreams

I binged the podcast several years ago in the start of my debt free journey and have been listening ever since. These girls have so many fantastic frugal ideas that donโ€™t leave you feeling broke. Thanks to their many ideas, I have paid off lots of debt and I am able to cash flow college for my twins because I was able to prioritize my spending and saving according to my values. Thank you!
