Are you feeling ready to tackle your debt, change your money management habits, or draw your own financial line in the sand? 

You are not alone.

After listening to this episode, you’ll walk away equipped with the tools I’ve used that created momentum in our financial lives and that have carried us from drowning in debt all the way to debt freedom and beyond. 

You'll hear how I used these tools differently back then versus now and which habits helped me be consistent along the journey. Just as motherhood is a journey, so is money management, and your needs and goals morph and change over time.

For a long time before we had children, my husband and I lived well on our combined two paychecks and excellent credit. We bought what we wanted for the house, went out to eat often, and enjoyed the freedom of two incomes and no kids.

But when we had kids, our financial lives seemed to steadily get more and more difficult. One thing was clear to me, however, and that was I wouldn’t let our financial difficulties affect our children. 

That’s when I drew my line in the sand and became more determined than ever to create the life of abundance I knew I’d always wanted.

Quietly, with very little progress at a time, I began to bring bills current, pay off the smallest debts first, and use these 3 fabulous financial apps and tools the way they were meant to be used. 

In hindsight, I know if I would have had a community or a coach, the journey would have been much faster, much less emotional and confusing, and much easier overall, which is why I share this information today.

Diving into any financial app is quite the endeavor. You've got to link accounts and import transactions, and don't you wish that someone would just spill the beans and tell you which ones are really worth it? 

Well, cheers, because in this episode, I share exactly that. Plus, you'll find out some of the nitty-gritty details from my own crazy financial journey. If I can dig my family out of debt, you can too!
