ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Think your finances don’t have much of an impact on your career? Well, we challenge you to rethink that. When you’re in debt your decisions often come down to what you NEED to do, rather than what you’d like to do. Becoming debt-free gives you back your freedom in ways that you may not even be able to anticipate. To help get you inspired to take action today, we’ve even got Scott and Alyssa’s Dave Ramsey Show official “debt-free scream” for you!
So, there was a time back before HTYC was born, when Scott and his wife Alyssa had found themselves up to their eyeballs in debt – everything from car payments to mortgage debt and student loans to the tune of over $133,000.
Mark Sieverkropp interviews Scott about his and Alyssa’s journey to getting out of debt and the surprising payoffs that were there to greet them when they were finally done.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- The impacts (the ones you know about AND the ones you don’t) that carrying debt can have on your life, your relationships, and your career.
- Why Scott’s debt could have prevented HTYC from “happening”!
- How taking control of your finances NOW is critical to your future career success and happiness.
- What the “Debt Snowball” is and how you can implement it to tackle your debt today!
