In 2018, I had over a year's salary of debt. In under 3 years, I paid it all off and saved a solid emergency fund. As my financial situation improved, I found I had a new life with more options and less stress. Plenty of people on the interwebs will tell you "How to pay off debt!", but this podcast is about what to do with this new found freedom you have thanks to financial independence. What do I do with my life now? Listen in and help me figure it out!

    Ep 4 Flexibility - More Than Retiring Early

    Having your finances in order means flexibility, and I don't mean the splitz! ;-) Flexibility can mean different things to each of us. Drop how you're enjoying flexibility in the comments, or, if you're dreaming of the flexibility when your finances are a little more stable, comment with what that dream looks like to you.

    Ep 2 - Personal Finance is.....Personal

    To start, I apologize for the pearl clutching moment in Episode 1. Haven't listened yet, go listen and see if you can catch it. Hint: It's not the Harry Potter thing. :-/ After that, I get on my soap box for a few minutes about the fact that you (and I) can spend our money on whatever we want! That's the beauty of financial freedom! ;-) ~If you like this episode (or you don't), drop me a voice message! https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fromdebttonewlife/message Maybe I'll share your message on a future podcast!
