In life, sometimes, the path that follows the spirit of God may not always seem clear or make immediate sense. It's like walking in the dark with a small lantern, where we can only see a few steps ahead. However, caring and following the spirit of God, even when it doesn't make sense, is a journey of faith and trust. It means believing that God's plans are greater than our understanding and that His love and guidance will lead us to a purposeful and fulfilling life. In this episode of The His and Her Money Show, we are joined by Jordan Raynor, a podcaster, influencer, preacher, and the author of the book The Sacredness of Secular Work, to talk about seeing our work through the lens of eternity.

Jordan also shares how understanding the sacredness of our work can transform our perspective, infuse our jobs with meaning and purpose, help us find freedom and joy in our work, and open up more opportunities to make disciples.

In this empowering episode of The His and Her Money Show, hosts Talaat and Tai have an inspiring conversation with pastor, author, and influencer Paul Daugherty. Paul is the lead pastor of Victory Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was founded by his parents in 1981. He took over leadership of the church in 2014 after the sudden passing of his father. In addition to pastoring Victory Church, Paul is also a popular podcaster and author. His new book "Mind Games: Winning the Battle in Your Mind" shares his powerful story of overcoming depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and more after becoming a young widow and unexpectedly taking the helm of his family's influential ministry. Through biblical lessons, personal stories, and practical insights, "Mind Games" provides a blueprint for readers to gain victory over the debilitating mind games that hold so many people back from living a purposeful and fulfilling life. In this episode, Paul opens up about his mental health battles and how he was able to turn the corner through faith, counseling, trusting his loved ones, and the realization that the “master key” to victory was within him all along through Christ. He also shares wisdom on avoiding the mind games of comparison and jealousy, pursuing spiritual health alongside mental health, involving your spouse in your journey, and finding true success through obedience to God's calling. Key Takeaways: Paul shares his personal story of dealing with depression, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety after the sudden passing of his father and taking on leadership of his family's church at a young age. He explains how an encounter at his church helped him realize he had the "master key" to victory in Christ all along. This shifted his mindset and enabled him to start overcoming his inner battles. Paul stresses the importance of inviting your spouse into your mental health journey and getting counseling if needed. He apologized to his wife for not properly including her in his grief early in their marriage. To avoid falling into the mind game of comparison, Paul had to repent to his pastor friend Mike Todd for being jealous of Mike's viral success. Paul emphasizes focusing on your growth and purpose, not someone else's success. A kingdom win for one person is a win for all. Benefits of pursuing mental health: More peace, joy, better sleep, less need for others' approval. The real success is obedience to what God called you to do.

Embarking on the path toward realizing our dreams is a journey laden with uncertainties and challenges. In this quest, goals stand as the guiding stars that illuminate our way through the darkness of uncertainty. Like a roadmap leading to the destination of our dreams, goals play an indispensable role in shaping our efforts and channeling our energies. They serve as the foundation upon which we build the steps towards our aspirations, providing a clear direction and purpose to our endeavors.  Without a defined goal, the journey becomes akin to sailing without a compass, leaving us adrift in a sea of possibilities without a destination. Therefore, understanding the pivotal role of goals in our pursuit of dreams unravels the key to unlocking success in the pursuit of any ambition. In the playbook of every dream-chaser, the significance of setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals cannot be overstated. These goals serve as milestones, marking our progress and offering tangible evidence of our journey's advancement. By breaking down our overarching dreams into smaller, manageable goals, we create a roadmap that transforms our aspirations from abstract desires into concrete, achievable steps.

One emerging concept that holds great promise in this quest is metabolic flexibility. Metabolic flexibility refers to the body's ability to efficiently switch between different energy sources and adapt to changing nutritional conditions. By cultivating metabolic flexibility, individuals can not only improve their overall health but also enhance their physical performance and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Metabolic flexibility is closely linked to the body's ability to use both carbohydrates and fats as sources of energy. In a metabolically flexible state, the body can effortlessly shift between burning carbohydrates during periods of high-intensity exercise or increased energy demand and utilizing stored fats during periods of fasting or low-intensity activities. This adaptability provides numerous benefits, including improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced fat oxidation, and better control over appetite and food cravings. By adopting lifestyle strategies such as regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, and intermittent fasting, individuals can promote metabolic flexibility and pave the way for a healthier, more vibrant life. In this episode of The His and Her Money Show, we are joined by Dr. Ian Smith, The author of the book: The Met Flex Diet, to talk about the importance of metabolic flexibility in the journey to living a healthier life. Dr. Ian shares the meaning of the term metabolic flexibility, why we should strive to attain metabolic flexibility, and what people working from home should do to attain metabolic flexibility.

By the end of year 1, he had 14 properties! In this episode, he is sharing his story and everything that he has learned so that you can be equipped to make money in mobile home investing too!

Today's guest for this episode of the His & Her Money show knows ALL about that. DeShena Woodard used to be in debt - lots and lots of debt. And even worse, she didn't know what to do with it. First of all, she had a limited view of money. Growing up, her parents put in the hours, but somehow her family stayed broke - from the looks of it, going to work just meant paying the bills and that was that. So, she followed the rule book: college and career. But ironically, college was when Deshena officially started her debt spiral. Now they're living 100% debt free and today, DeShena runs a blog called Extravagantly Broke where she's empowered to help others find their financial grip and kick debt right out of their lives - just like she did!    RESOURCES MENTIONED Extravagantly Broke | extravagantlybroke.com  Deshena's Instagram | instagram.com/deshenawoodard/

In this episode of the His & Her Money Show, Linda Gartz joined us live for some conversation about something that's a little bit less talked about: redlining. Whether you've heard of it or not, redlining was once a hot topic in segregated America. As Linda describes, if an African-American family - or, to a lesser extent, other races or nationalities - moved in a neighborhood or even an apartment, the entire neighborhood would be suddenly ineligible for loans. Linda breaks down the history of redlining and her own experiences, reflecting on the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr's assassination in her own childhood neighborhood and bringing forward the parallels between then and now. The Fair Housing Act ended official redlining but it's still so relevant in today's climate, and this is a chat you will NOT want to miss.

Sometimes, beginning your debt-free journey requires making some financial mistakes. Danielle Martin, a single, recently graduated college student, had to get herself about 39k in student loan, car loan, and credit card debt before she finally shifted her mindset and took steps towards paying off her debt. Although she left college with 13k in student loan debt, about six months out of college, she not only moved out of her parents’ house and into an apartment, sending half of her paycheck to rent, but also decided to buy a car, taking out another 23k in loans.  She had more than doubled her debt within her first month of moving into an apartment, and rather than saving up and paying it off, she continued to spend her money on shopping.

On this episode of The His & Her Money Show, we talk about the power of budgets to change your future with money coach, Ericka Young. While most of us know we need to budget, most of us also know that we don’t like the budgeting process. Budgeting feels like a straitjacket. It feels like you’re depriving yourself. Budgets don’t have to feel that way. In fact, as Ericka Young shares with our listeners, restrictive is the opposite of how a budget should make you feel. A budget should leave you empowered. A simple, one-page budget can be a powerful tool for you and your family to manage your financial destiny.   RESOURCES MENTIONED Tailor Made Budget Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps Free Financial Education (eBook) for Teens (TailorMadeBudgets.com)   THANKS FOR LISTENING!

On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we talk about a big issue that is affecting our entire country, student loan debt. It is one of the biggest hurdles of anyone trying to get financially free.  As our guest Ryan Craig points out, the U.S. student loan debt total is at $1.5 TRILLION dollars. This debt was incurred mostly by students who believed the dream that college would help them get a “good job”, only to find that the “good jobs” wanted employees with a different set of skills. How do we fix this problem and how do we prevent the next generation of college-bound students from falling into the trap? Give them alternatives. That’s what Ryan Craig is all about. Ryan argues that now is the time to give cheaper and more targeted options for people, throughout their careers, whether they are high school students or experienced workers looking to advance their career.   WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE What is causing the student loan crisis? How much should we be saving for college?

Real estate investment is a long-term game that can reap some incredible benefits. However, buying a single home most likely won’t lead you towards complete financial independence. Today, a real estate investing couple, Mark and Tamiel, are here to share their experience and journey into real estate syndication and how they are using this to build generational wealth and choice-filled lives for their children Real estate syndication is, in short, group purchasing.

Through this, you are growing and learning at the same time. He worked several odd jobs, in the daytime up to 40 hours a week, and at night up to 20-25 hours. Focused on reaching their goals as fast as they could keep them motivated and not distracted by the people and things around them. The last payment day was perfect. They were so happy and grateful to finally be debt free. “You can't get somewhere incredible in life unless you're willing to sacrifice to get there,” says Samuel. In addition, Samuel shares important tips to get good results. Stick to your goal and stay motivated, pursue people who have done what you're trying to do, stay off social media, read and listen to good things, read the Bible, and mingle with positive people. The couple's key goal was to find a mentor who could teach them how to build assets so they could walk away from their jobs in their twenties. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How Samuel and Jessica Paid Off $65,000 of Debt In 14 Months The entire process of their debt elimination journey. How they kept motivated despite a busy schedule.

On today's episode of the His and Her Money Show, we have a young couple, Leo and Faith, who have an awesome debt-free story. This phenomenal couple is on a debt-kicking mission and is half-way to the finish line. They have paid off $115,000 of debt in 12 months! How? Listen to the episode to find out the strategies that they applied. Faith is really passionate about debt freedom, helping people get out of debt and talking about finances. Leo is an occupational therapist, who loves to play basketball during his free time, and is passionate about sharing their story of hope.  At first, Faith had a mindset of seeing debt as normal and planned to take care of it later. She bought all the things she wanted, the opposite of Leo. Leo, in fact, motivated her to settle their debts first in order to begin a family. They have figured out the purpose and vision of their marriage. Having financial conversations before they've got married helped them to address their goals early on. Leo and Faith did some side hustling, spending almost all their time working and attacking one loan at a time. They have created a poster to visually see the flow of their debts and payments. Furthermore, they are treating it seriously and considering it as a kind of motivation. They are dedicated and are digging their heels in to get to the finish line.

Are you looking for a way to get rid of debt? You must be open to possibilities, have the willingness to give up some things and learn new ones, continually updating your knowledge, and possessing the guts to conquer your fears. No one knows what will happen in the future. You have to take the first step towards your ultimate goal, try your best with strategies, and stay focused on your way to financial freedom. On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we have a very successful real estate investor and blogger, Rich Carey, to share his debt freedom journey and give you some hope and inspiration! Rich grew up fascinated by real estate and still thinks it is the coolest thing to do. Later, he ended up being drowned by student loan debt of $32,000. His wife, who was his girlfriend at the time, encouraged him to be responsible for his obligations and helped him craft a plan to pay off the debt. They did side hustles and started his journey of real estate investing. Afterward, they acquired a home mortgage worth $280,000. The family decided to live a very frugal life; eating out and having fancy vacations was not on their to-do list during this time. They chose to live on the smallest income possible and put everything else into savings and investments. With the combination of this unique approach and the power of real estate, plus his income from the Air Force, he found his way out from under. The mortgage was paid off quickly in just 6-7 years instead of the standard 30 years. Rich pursued his real estate investment career despite working overseas. He purchased another rental property in cash to avoid the hassle and flipped it, earning a significant profit. The success of this idea led him to own 20 properties in one location. He proved that a real estate investment is not a nightmare but a vehicle for financial freedom and a more promising future. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE • How Rich shifted his mindset and became motivated to get out of debt • How he ended up being a real estate investor • Why he settled his 20 properties in one place • How he bought 6 properties in just 10 months • How he continually upgraded his knowledge • The difference between buying things in cash or creating debt • The benefits of having investments in one city • Advice on choosing property managers • How he decides if it’s a good buy or not RESOURCES Rich's Blog - Rich On Money The Total Money Makeover - by Dave Ramsey Thank You for Listening!

Everybody knows that habits are hard to break, and that's especially true when it comes to money habits. Whether you're overspending the monthly budget, sleeping on the income you know you should be making, or even just not keeping track of your finances at all, one bad money habit always leads to more, and that's when your financial destruction can start to snowball, sometimes for generations. Breaking the mold is tough, but it's worth it in the end to set a good financial foundation for the present and the future! On today's episode of The His & her Money Show, we're so glad to be talking with Amir and Candace Shameih about their decision to break out of debt and grab a piece of that financial freedom. This faith-forward couple took the initiative, got their plan together, and set out to eliminate their debt in 18 months...and then they beat the odds and came out debt-free in just 7! Their story is incredible, and we can't wait for you to hear it! Neither Amir nor Candace grew up in money-conscious families. As kids, they saw the bad side of what can happen when you let the state of your finances fall back as a priority, but even so, for awhile it seemed like they were both on the same path all too soon. Fortunately, history wasn't doomed to repeat itself, and after Candace, the couple truly began to realize their options. Between the two of them, they had over $58,000, from student loans, credit cards, and a whole lot else. They could stay a slave to the lender, or they could take control of their money, bust their way out of debt, and live financial freedom to the fullest. And you can bet they chose the right one! Keep listening to find out how they did it, and maybe learn something along the way! WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Bringing your spouse on board to tackle your debt together Getting into a new mindset to start your budget Some of Candace and Amir's tips and tricks for getting out of debt Cutting monthly costs around the household How to stay focused and not give into temptation Gow faith kept Candace and Amir strong through their debt free journey Resources Mentioned The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey Thank You For Listening!

Six years ago at the beginning of their debt freedom journey, Bruce and Brenda had roughly $58,000 in consumer debt, from credit cards to car loans (and their "eight-thousand dollar blanket"), and they knew they had to get out from under it, and as soon as possible. In the first year of work, they'd already paid off $30,000, and after that, it was time to get even more creative and have some fun with it. Today, debt-free and living well, Bruce is a certified Ramsey Solutions master financial coach, and this smart money couple loves to share any nugget of wisdom they can with YOU on their website, BruceMcgrew.com!

Here at His & Her Money, we know there's nothing more important when it comes to managing your finances as a smart money couple than being a united front. This goes for all things money (and marriage!) related, but it's especially necessary when you're talking about debt. The journey to debt freedom is often full of sacrifices and big life changes along the way - and sometimes even a total lifestyle overhaul - and if you're not on the same page, the back and forth struggle can put a major strain on your end goal AND your relationship. But with dedication, faith, and togetherness, any couple can fight the good fight and come out the other side strong! On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we've got a couple that did just that. Get ready for an incredible debt elimination story. Kerry and Kamille once had over $111,000 in debt, between credit cards and student loans, and it was just getting bigger. Once they truly started feeling the weight, they knew it was time to break free - and just 21 months later, they did! Now they're living completely debt free, and keep listening to find out how they did it! Right before Kerry graduated college, the couple went on an 11-night celebration trip to the Caribbean. It was expensive, but they figured they'd pay it off over time. It wasn't long after, though, that they both started thinking about how much debt was piling up on their credit cards. It was obvious that eliminating their debt was the next logical step, for their finances and their marriage moving forward, and Kerry was already considering their options when Kamille suggested they go to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. One class and they were hooked! Paying off their debt became a discipline, and just like anything, there were hiccups along the way - but there was no stopping them. And now, just 21 months later, Kerry and Kamille have paid off their debt completely, and they couldn't be happier! WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why you shouldn't be content being average When Kerry and Kamille decided to eliminate their debt The importance of accountability and "accountability partner" benefits Kerry and Kamile's faith began their approach to debt freedom Different ways Kerry and Kamille budgeted and saved money How to stay focused and disciplined RESOURCES Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University  Thank You for Listening!

On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we've got an amazing guest coming on to chat with us about God, finances, and how she's using her faith and money smarts and skills to change lives. Emily Stroud is a wife, mom, author, entrepreneur, and financial adviser, working hard to change the stigma of talking about money - because talking about money is exactly what she loves to do! Emily's whole family is in the ministry, so naturally, she assumed she'd follow in some way or another. While getting her MBA, set to pursue non-profit consulting for churches and ministries, she took some financial courses, and it was obvious that here she'd found her calling. 20 years later, she counsels couples and individuals on managing money and faith in the best way possible. Emily is an inspiring guru of advice on all things finances, and touches on debt, investment, and staying on track financially as a married unit. This fantastic episode is packed with so many nuggets of wisdom to take in, but it's still only the tip of the iceberg of what she covers in her books, so go check them out on Amazon and give them a read!

Eliminating debt isn't easy. It doesn't matter if you're single, a family unit, or a couple - it'll always have its challenges, and especially as newlyweds, tackling your finances might not be a challenge you want to take on right away. But the sooner the better! Forming a united front against your debt isn't just a learning experience and a lot of hard work and sacrifices: sure, it can be a test of marriage, but it's also taking the first big step towards financial freedom and starting to build the life you want together. On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, Michael Lacy is coming in to tell us all about his debt-free journey, and how he and his wife Taylor smashed $61,000 of debt in just 16 months! Michael is the founder of Black Sheep Finance, where he's a financial coach dedicated to offering clarity and practical advice for others who are struggling to achieve their financial dreams. He's a wealth of information and you're sure to learn something today! Unlike so many Americans, Michael and Taylor didn't have student loans or a mortgage to contend with -- but they WERE swimming in credit card debt and car loans. Michael's father gave him plenty of financial advice from a young age, but once his credit card usage got started, it spiraled, and by the time they got married, he and Taylor had a whopping $61,000 of debt between them. There was no end in sight until they ended up rained in on their honeymoon, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise -- with nothing else to do, they started setting their goals for the future, tallied up their debt, and decided that it was time to finally take control of their finances. Once they were both on board, they got straight to working budgeting and setting their financial priorities. It wasn't all easy -- there were some hiccups along the way, and sometimes the process started to weigh on their marriage, but 16 months later, Michael and Taylor were enjoying the end of their debt payoff on a cruise!

On this episode of The His & Her Money show, we have Monica Louie who is here to teach on how to use Facebook Ads to grow your business. Monica Louie a full-fledged Facebook Ads expert also shared the three main components of Facebook Ads: Firstly, you need to have an offer which can be as simple as a blog post or a free offer, download or training that people wants. Your offer should be an attention-grabbing one for people to engage with. Secondly, you need to find the right people who are interested in your offer. These people will share and spread your offer to their families and friends, gaining you organic reach. Lastly, make an attention-grabbing ad. This ad will grab other people’s attention and entice them to click through. Monica also mentioned that she started with just as little as $5 a day for her budget. According to her, engagement plays a big role in your ad. More engagement means people are sharing the ads for you. It lowers the cost since it is higher click through. It also means more eyeballs for your ads. She also shared the common mistakes that people make. People don’t have a clear strategy, what their goals are for their business. They are confused about the different things they want to do, which campaigns to use, and who are the audiences to target. They just dive in and didn’t know what they are doing. Lack of education can also hold you back in Facebook Ads success. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How Monica started with Facebook ads What are the components of a Facebook Ad What are the important things that you need to take note when you are starting Who should be your target audience Is engagement important when it comes to ads?

Pretty much anyone who's ever dipped into the personal finance community has heard about side hustling. Here at His & Her Money, we're huge advocates of entrepreneurship, and we want everyone to know that getting a side hustle (or several!) can be an incredible tool for not just paying off debt and generating extra income, but ultimately achieving financial freedom in the process. Having more income is a powerful asset, and you might even be able to turn your hobbies into cash! On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we're so glad to have Michelle Schroeder-Gardner on the show with us! You might know Michelle from MakingSenseOfCents.com, and as well as being a blogger, she's a personal finance expert, wife, and full-time traveler. She started her blog back in 2013 as a hobby, but once she realized she could make a go of it, she paid off a whopping $40,000 in student loan debt, left Corporate America behind, and she and her husband have been making the best of financial freedom ever since! Michelle was working full-time as a financial analyst when she got her first student loan notice in the mail - that was when she realized that she didn't want to be tied down for the next 8 to 12 years paying them off. By now Michelle was following the personal finance community, reading stories of debt smashing success, and it didn't take long to realize that she could do that too! Her first side hustle was mystery shopping, and that was just the beginning. From there, she and her husband found more ways to manage money: eating out less, cutting costs, and of course, side hustling. Michelle credits her success to one course, Elite Blog Academy. We must mention this course only opens once a year and you must get on the waiting list to even be notified of it. FYI- Elite Blog Academy is currently open through Friday, March 9th! Get in the doors before it closes and doesn’t open up until next year. Click here to find out more info.   Michelle didn't know much about blogging when she first started, let alone that she could make a living doing it. Her work-life balance involved weekends and later hours, and she even used her vacation days to work on the blog. But hard work paid off: 6 months after she started blogging, she made her first $100; a year after, she was earning roughly $5,000 a month; today, she makes over $1,000,000! Michelle is an incredible wealth of tips, tricks, and advice, from networking and blogging conferences to advertising and making the most of your blog presence online. Her journey is incredible, and yours can be too! WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How Michelle got in the mindset to get debt free fast Setting out to make your side hustle your full-time source of income How Michelle makes money off her blog The basics of networking and building online relationships Breaking down the habits of million dollar bloggers vs. the unsuccessful RESOURCES Elite Blog Academy Michelle's Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing course!

There are few things we champion more than taking up a good side hustle. Whether you're paying off debt, saving up for that dream vacation, or even just looking to profit from a new creative outlet, there are countless ways to generate extra income. And the best part is, sometimes your side hustles can turn into something so much more! Walking dogs, teaching yoga, graphic design...these can all be transformed from passion projects to lucrative businesses, but one of the most popular and profitable side hustles is starting a blog. We know you've heard about this before, and you might still have your doubts. So keep listening! On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, things are about to get interesting! We've brought on a great friend and an even MORE amazing blogger, Rosemarie Groner, to share her experiences in the blogosphere and tell us all about her incredible success story. When Rosemarie started her blog, The Busy Budgeter, she had an idea of what she wanted her end goal to be but, just like you, didn't know if she'd succeed. And in 10 months, her readership and income blossomed into a full-time income and beyond, and now she's making $100,000 a month! We'd call that a success! Of course, blogging wasn't the first career Rosemarie envisioned herself having. She was a state trooper for 9 years, but as a wife and mom, due to her crazy unpredictable schedule, she knew she didn't want to do it forever. And when she started a home daycare center, that didn't work out too well either. There had to be a way to replace her full-time income, and suddenly, she found it in a random email for a blogging course. From there, Rosemarie enrolled in Elite Blog Academy (a His & Her Money favorite!), and this was just the beginning. It was a lot of work and dedication, but as her blog grew and grew, Rosemarie realized she was building a six-figure business - as a stay-at-home mom, no less! Find Rosemarie at BusyBudgeter.com, and join her in taking the blogging world by storm! WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How Rosemarie started her blog and steps she took to make it great Investing in your blog, and why it's important Different ways to generate blog income Staying on track while building your blog and squashing discouragement RESOURCES Elite Blog Academy Thank You for Listening!

Debt is nothing new for the average American. Car loans, consumer debt, student loans, and all other types of debt have fast become another piece of day-to-day life, for students, singles, couples, and families all across the country. But there's a light at the end of the tunnel, even if it doesn't seem like it. Living the American lifestyle doesn't have to mean living with debt, and if you can motivate yourself to push and stay on the right track, you could be well on your way to smashing YOUR debt once and for all.   On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, Maya Lewis is joining us for another fantastic debt elimination story. Maya is a Maryland-born project management analyst, self-proclaimed Excel spreadsheet queen, and debt-smashing superstar. Over just two years she single-handedly paid off an incredible $73,000, and this is how she did it!   RESOURCES Mint The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey  

On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, Ruth Soukup is stopping by! A few years ago Ruth was on the show to talk about her new book, "Living Well Spending Less", and we're so excited that she's here again to share her incredible entrepreneur journey to success, and how she's extended her blog savviness to helping others! Ruth's course, Elite Blog Academy, is dedicated to guiding aspiring bloggers just like you get their blogs up and running. Ruth might be a seasoned million dollar blogger now, but just like anybody starting out, it wasn't always smooth sailing. Back in 2010, Ruth and her husband were trying to get on the right financial track. They were also constantly butting heads over money, and as a stay-at-home mom of two small kids, Ruth needed a creative outlet that didn't involve overspending. That was when she launched Living Well Spending Less, where she started documenting her couponing efforts and organizing tips and tricks for friends and family. She didn't expect much would come from it until the couponing craze hit in full swing and suddenly her blog was shooting up on Google's ranks. Ruth thought she was crazy (and so did her husband!), but as the blog grew, the potential was obvious - it was time to get serious, and the rest was history! Get inspired at EliteBlogAcademy.com!

Just because everybody's doing it doesn't mean you have to follow the crowd. You know exactly what we're talking about: student loans, and the long-term affects of living with them. Your financial freedom largely depends on what you're bringing in and how much is going right back out; by paying off your loans as soon as possible, you're drastically minimizing the paycheck to paycheck cycle, and your financial future will be totally up for YOU to decide!   On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we're thrilled to have Gary here with us to share his incredible debt-free journey. Gary is a blogger and IT professional, and once he was swimming in student loans. But not anymore! With hard work and determination, and a few pretty big sacrifices along the way, Gary put his money smarts to the test straight out of college and cut his $60,000 debt down to nothing in just three and a half years!

Sometimes it's hard enough to manage your money when you're an individual, but as a couple, your finances can feel like a much bigger responsibility. It can also be a struggle if debt is holding you back, and the stress of living paycheck to paycheck can put a strain on your relationship. But through openness, communication, and unity within a marriage, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Here at The His & Her Money Show, we're all about marriage, family, and anything in between - and smart money couples are at the top of the list!   On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we've got Alex and Cassie from TheThriftyCouple.com over to talk with us about money, marriage, and of course, debt destruction! Once upon a time, they were a whopping $108,000 in consumer debt - credit cards, student loans, and beyond. None of these expenses were too shocking alone, but together, they added up!

Most of the time, good money management doesn't come to us naturally. Knowing where your finances stand, and most importantly, how to handle them, is a learned behavior; that being said, it can also become second nature pretty fast, and the best way to form smart money habits for the long-term is to educate yourself as well and as often as possible. And we get it: sometimes that's easier said than done. Where do you start? Why are there so many numbers? But by finding a way to stay focused, motivated, and yes, interested, taking control of your financial life might turn out to be a lot easier than you think!   On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we've got a great one for you! Financial guru, educator, and motivational speaker Ash Cash is joining us for some eye-opening conversation and to get into some of the details of his latest book, The Wake-Up Call: Financial Inspiration From 4:44 + A Step By Step Guide On How To Implement Each Financial Principle. We've been fans of Ash since the very beginning of His & Her Money and bringing him on board is an incredible opportunity for all our listeners to get a taste of all that he has to offer!

Here at His & Her Money, we love to talk about finances. But we also LOVE to talk about marriage and family life. Everything in a marriage is shared, including the finances - and everything that comes with them. Sometimes both sides come into a marriage with debt and financial baggage, and maybe it can seem easier to just let it go and carry on. But eliminating debt can be a massive weight off your shoulders, whether you're a couple or an individual, and it's never too late or too early to get the conversation started!   On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, Javier Gutierrez from DreamerMoney.com is here to share his incredible journey to debt freedom. When they got married, Javier and his wife Taylor had a combined debt of over $34,000, and soon they realized that neither of them wanted to foresee carrying their debt around for much longer. Listen in to find out how they got in the zone and destroyed their debt in less than two years!

Here at His & Her Money, we're not just a financial podcast. Not only are we avid counselors of marriage and family (and everything in between!), but we're also very conscious of faith. It's a huge part of life and can come up in all aspects, from business to everyday moments, and whether you have lifelong dedication or have just recently opened your heart to God, we're always excited to spread the conversation. On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we're so lucky to have Touré Roberts joining us for a great discussion on faith, business, and prioritizing your life. Touré is a Los Angeles-born pastor and entrepreneur with a passion for helping others and promoting "wholeness": the pursuit of being complete. He's just released his brand new book, Wholeness: Winning At Life From The Inside Out, and today he's giving us a taste of what's in store. Touré is a wealth of information and wisdom and has so much to say on worship, prayer, and how to apply them to become the best version of yourself that you can be!

Most people don't often think about getting rid of their debt as soon as they get out of college. Student loans are fast becoming the norm, but just because everyone has them, that doesn't mean you have to keep them! The thing is if your goal is to destroy your debt before it completely takes over, that often means living frugally. This might not sound like the most glamorous lifestyle, but if you can achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, it's worth it in the end!   On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, Lily He-Prudhomme from The Frugal Gene is coming in to tell us all about her debt free journey. Lily is a blogger, full-time Airbnb host, and an incredible resource for learning about how to start your own debt free journey. She and her husband are also on the path to creating generational wealth, and we can't wait for you to hear all about it. At one point, Lily was splurging on a pizza from Costco; now she and her husband are putting away $100-150,000 a year in savings and living completely free of debt!

Saving money for retirement may not be the first thing on everybody's mind. It seems pretty far down the road to be worrying about it now, but it's never too soon to start taking steps towards financial independence, now or for the future. Here at His & Her Money, one of the things we stress the most is the power of smart investing, and our favorite way to get started on the right path is through 401ks. You may not put that much thought into your employer's 401k, but we hope this episode gives you something to think about! On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we decided to bring in Chris Costello, a 401k expert, for an in-depth conversation on investment and saving for retirement, and how the answer to getting started could be right in front of you this whole time. Chris has been deep in the financial services community since 1995, and as the CEO and co-founder of Blooom, he's an invaluable resource of practical financial advice. Today he's breaking down investments, 401k, personal finances, and generating long-term wealth - this is one you won't want to miss! Chris and his Blooom co-founder Kevin were working well as financial and wealth advisers when they branched out and started their own firm in 2004, but they were growing frustrated with the fact that those who needed financial advising the most weren't often able to get it - the final straw was when Chris realized his own parents, even though they were his clients, didn't even qualify for the firm that they'd created. It was time to make a real change, and ultimately that was where Blooom was born. Blooom's goal is to help everyone and anyone to understand and utilize their 401k. They offer incredible tools and advice and, most importantly, financial peace of mind. Today Chris walks us through some big steps and gives incredible practical advice, tips, and tricks, but it's just the tip of the 401k iceberg and there's so much more to learn with Blooom. So what are YOU waiting for? WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE What a 401k is and how to use them to generate long-term wealth Investment do's and don'ts Traditional 401k vs. Roth 401k Debt and what to do with it before and during the investment process RESOURCES Blooom Thank You for Listening!

It's one thing to start the journey to debt freedom as an individual, but tackling your debt as a couple means working as a team. Like most things in marriage, showing up debt as a united front is the key to making the journey smooth. Sometimes this can be hard, and other times it's a unanimous decision, and either way, we love sitting down with smart money couples to talk about how they manage marriage, family, and finances. On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we're joined by Caleb and Rachel Mathias from Lancaster, Pennsylvania to talk about their debt free journey, and how they destroyed $45,000 of debt in just 16 months! This is an amazing feat, but coming so fresh into their marriage, it wasn't always an easy one. But once they got off the ground, Caleb and Rachel were focused and determined to reach their goals, and now they're living completely debt free! Caleb and Rachel started their marriage off with approximately $45,000 of debt between them - mostly student loans, with car loans and consumer credit card debt. It was nothing they couldn't handle. But they both had great-paying jobs and weren't living extravagantly, so...why were they dipping into their savings to pay the bills? That was the turning point where they decided to take a good look at their finances, find out where their money was really going, and get serious about eliminating their debt and paving the road towards financial freedom.

Student loan debt - or just debt in general - is a hurdle that many Americans face. But just because it's become the norm doesn't mean that you have to live with it forever! While your loans can hold you back from your ideal life and financial freedom, working to toward eliminating your debt is an investment well worth the time and effort for a brighter future on YOUR own terms. What would you sacrifice to be debt free? On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we've got Marissa Lyda from The Budgeting Wife coming on to share her story of total debt elimination. She and her husband Jacob knew from the start that they didn't want their $87,000 student loan debt to hold them back from doing the things they wanted and accomplishing their goals, so they made sure it didn't! After two and a half years of hard work and sacrifices, now that they've obliterated their debt once and for all, this smart money couple is totally committed to keeping their debt-free lifestyle as frugal and fun as possible. We can't wait for you to hear all about it!

Most Americans have some form of debt, be it credit cards or student loans or car loans. It’s nothing out of the ordinary and for now, you might just be living with it, just like everyone else. But someday you might find that your debt is already hurting you in the long run. Are you financially secure enough for that new car? Emergency fund? Vacation? To start a family? If you have any doubts, then it might be time for you to evaluate your finances and where you can make some changes. On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we’ve got Andy Hill on board to talk getting down to business, budgets, and of course, busting your debt! You might already know Andy, proud husband and father of two, from his blog and podcast, Marriage, Kids, & Money, and now he’s here to share with us his family’s incredible journey to debt freedom!

Many books, articles, and podcasts have been created that tell stories of individuals or couples successfully achieving financial-freedom. These serve as inspiration for people to start paying off their debt and live the life they deserve. But when a person finally decides to take the plunge and embark on their own journey towards debt-freedom, people who have crossed the finish line may seem to be beyond the horizon. The story of the journey is just as important (if not more important) as the destination. Therefore, on today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we have Petrina Turner to talk to us about how she started journey, the sacrifices she's made, and why she and her family are still persevering through the struggles towards their goal. In a short amount of time, Petrina and her husband were able to knock out $40,000 off their debt, along with winning other family members to get on their own journey to financial autonomy, and are resolved to giving a better financial education and future to their children. They certainly are fighting the battle against debt, and we look forward to witnessing them win. Petrina Turner shares her story of their family and their on-going journey to a life without debt, for people to relate to, learn from, and be inspired to continue on their own journey as well.

Hilary Hendershott is our guest for today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, and she joins us to talk about why couples have money fights, how to stop it, and how to move forward from it.   Hilary is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) based in California. She shares her own personal story about having the wrong mindset, which leads her to some less than appealing financial results. Turning things around for the better, and equipped with knowledge and research, she came to understand people's behavior and acquaintance with money.  Hilary is now debt-free and with a thriving business. She currently shares her story and knowledge to help people master their relationship with money. Just like in today's episode, Hilary explains three steps for couples to follow in order to stop the money fights.

There’s an age-old saying that says, “Knowledge is power.” In conjunction with this, some people also say, “Experience is the best teacher.” But if you are offered an experience that will redefine your knowledge, will you take it? Many people consider that time is of the essence when it comes to paying off debt. This results in the loss of confidence in the idea of achieving their goals once they age past their prime. Is it really too late to chase dreams past the age of 40? These questions are answered by our guests, James and Kelly, on today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, as they talk to us about how they paid off an astounding $120,000 of debt in 4 years—starting their journey after the age of 40!

It takes for a couple to be on the same page and be in sync, to succeed in fighting for debt-freedom. When a married couple follows their plan and abides by their strategies to pay off their debt, it is very likely that they’ll end up stronger, united, and debt-free in the end. But what should you do if your spouse isn’t as aggressive as you in terms of financial discipline? On this episode of The His & Her Money Show, we have Donald and Abby Gadson to talk to us about their journey to paying off $144,000 in 5 years!  

There may be many reasons you can find that will inspire you to embark on your own journey to debt freedom. And there are many ways that you could become acquainted with the idea of gaining financial autonomy. That moment of clarity can be sparked when a credit card is rejected, or maybe a small talk from a friend, or perhaps simply trying to find a great deal on an apartment to rent, either way, it doesn’t take much for us to aspire to strive for a better financial status in life. As for Ketuan Baldwin, our guest on this episode of  The His & Her Money Show, having a daughter and leaving a legacy for her is all it took for him to steer towards the road to financial freedom. Listen as we take a look at how Ketuan managed to pay off about $90,000 of debt in a little over 3 years.

Positive thinking could be a powerful tool that helps people go through the tough times of their journey to financial success. There may be undesirable challenges people have to endure in order to pay off debt, but positive psychology could help them change their inclination to these things. Such was the case of our guest on today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, MJ Bridges, who developed the attitude, approach, and mentality needed to keep his chin up and step over the bumps on the road to debt freedom. As do many, MJ had been careless with his credit cards until he gathered around $70,000 of debt at the age of 25. A classic occurrence of having his credit cards declined at a time that he badly needed it, was the awakening moment for MJ that drove him to realize that he was poorly managing his finances. Owning a vision and a plan, MJ used his wit and resources to keep himself determined to pay off his debt. Disappointments and tough times come along the way, but MJ equipped himself with a positive mind to be resolute on his objective—freedom from debt.

Diligence and determination are two of the characteristics that you must develop if debt freedom is your goal. Your focus has to be laser-like, and you must be fully intentional about each move that you make with your money. Today’s guests on The His & Her Money Show are prime examples of what these characteristics look like in action. Seth and Tayler did what most people think is impossible in that they paid off $58,000 of debt in 18 months!

Society has taught us that living the American dream is owning things that add to life’s comfort and indulgence. What’s rarely mentioned is that to live the American dream is to be free—and that includes financial freedom. When you think about it, how much money do you have in total after selling your assets to pay off your debt? On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we have Yuriy Mayba to talk to us about how he and his family survived paying off over $200,000 of debt and still managed to end up with a quarter of a million dollars in the long run. Yuriy achieved what many people see as a commendable life story: Coming from a foreign land at a young age and built his life towards successful business management and income…at the price of being in debt. Yuriy then realized that he and his wife cannot move forward to a different chapter in their lives without paying off their debt first. With faith in God, discipline, and humility, and using all his skills to get through struggles of survival, he is now savoring a better direction in life and with a stronger relationship with his family.

Having a large family combined with a large amount of debt can be a scary thing. But having the right strategies and the attitude to tackle financial problems head-on can conversely, cause a positive impact on your family. It is important for a couple to share their own strengths and weaknesses, and use them to tackle family situations because after all…marriage is a team. Many people have the “time is of the essence” mindset, and more often are disheartened when they realize it’ll take too long to be debt-free.  In hopes of helping our audience out of this ineffective conclusion, we interview Carrie Willard on today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, to show us how she managed to become debt-free despite having a large family.  

In this episode of The His & Her Money Show, we speak with Tia Chambers as she shares extremely valuable tips for 1st time home buyers about all of the hidden costs associated with purchasing a house. The biggest purchase that you’re ever going to make is that of a home so it is critical that you be equipped with all the information you’ll need to make the purchase process as painless as possible. From mortgages to various kinds of insurance, maintenance fees, closing costs, and more. We’ll give you an inside look into some of the expenses associated with homeownership that you never hear about and how to properly budget for them before you even start looking for your new house.

Motivational speaker Tony Gaskins once famously said, “If you don’t build your own dream somebody else will hire you to help build theirs.” This quote applies to millions of people who are working in jobs they hate all while racking up extreme amounts of debt trying to keep up with everyone else or fund their American dream. In the eyes of many, debt is unavoidable, expected, and even welcomed. Today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show is all about getting out of debt and into financial freedom. We talk with Anna Runyan who shares her journey of how she and her husband were both able to pay off an enormous amount of debt, leave unfulfilling careers and build a successful business they could be proud of.

Sometimes it takes hearing advice from another person to wake up and smell the coffee. And sometimes we get an awakening by people we don’t expect… or even events we seldom think of. This is why we bring Bobby Hoyt on today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, to talk to us about how he learned valuable lessons in pursuit of a debt-free life for his family. Beginning from a friendly talk to enduring some grievous circumstances, Bobby took in the positive lessons enabling him to pay off $40,000 of student loans in a mere 18 months.

Rarely is a couple's argument one-sided. Even though money is one of the arguments that come up again and again, many times, money fights really aren't about money. On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we interview Cora Hietpas to talk to us about how to handle the dynamic of merging marriage and money successfully. It is important for a couple to recognize each other's core values surrounding money. In many cases, values in money are different from each individual but are rarely talked about before and many years after committing to a relationship. Cora emphasizes for couples to express their values in money as early as possible, in order to resolve any upcoming issues. Cora also teaches us how to deal with complications if your spouse's value in money is different from yours. She believes that there has to be a coming-together, a compromise for each partner to lean-in toward one another, to get to that middle ground, and to reach a happy place for everyone.

Debt freedom always requires a level of sacrifice. The question is, are you willing to pay the costs that are associated with achieving such a goal? Stephanie and her family answered that question with a resounding YES! As a result, they successfully paid off over $144,000 of student loans in just 3 years! Stephanie's road to financial freedom was not easy, but it is truly inspirational for all who take notice. On this episode of The His & Her Money Show, Stephanie shares all of the details of the journey to debt freedom that she and her family embarked on in hopes that anyone listening will see that they can do it too. Stephanie Jones is the creator of Six Figures Under which is a website dedicated to helping people learn how to live frugally and pay off their debts. Be sure to check out her site for more motivation and education for your journey to debt freedom.

In order to dig your way out of debt, you are going to need to develop a level of determination that is higher than ever before. You are going to have to be willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your ultimate goal if you are really serious about it. To help us discover the level of fortitude necessary to achieve debt freedom, we sit down with Rich and WIM from Paycheck & Balances. They break down their battle with debt and also talk about how you can break free from the bondage and stress, that being in debt brings about. Paychecks & Balances is a fun and formative podcast covering work and money for the rising professional. Rich and WIM leverage their individual stories to provide entertaining insights and helpful tips on money management, professional growth, and other topics relevant to 20 and 30-somethings trying to get ahead.

Some people try to find some well-known methods to solve their problems with debt, and some take an unorthodox approach. Acquiring assistance from your parents could be something other people may disapprove of. On the other hand, it could help boost morale, aid you in straightening out your finances, and help achieve your goal of a debt-free life. Family support is the topic of our guests, Staphon and Sheley, on today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show. Listen to the podcast as they share with us a testament to a loving and supportive family, which helped them pay over $70,000 of their debt in as short as 29 months.

A financial frame of mind could be one of the things that people seldom discuss with each other before getting into a partnership or marriage. In many cases, the financial aspect of the relationship is dealt with long after conjugality has taken place. This could cause a stressful span of time in the partnership once they start dealing with their expenses, income, and debt. We have Brad Sherman with us on this episode of The His & Her Money Show, to talk to us about how important it is for a couple to get to know each other’s outlook on the aspect of money management.

Sometimes, children can be your inspiration to get out of debt and build wealth. In other situations, however, hardships and sacrifices are a reality that couples have to face in order to get out of debt. The question is: What level of difficulty would you be willing to go through to achieve a debt-free life? Some people take the hard road to get to the finish line the soonest, but many lose heart along the way. We hope to inspire you in today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, as Marcus and Ashley share with us their story of enduring the ball and chain of debt initially, and yet succeeded paying off $107,000 of debt in 33 just months.

In many cases, debt is not solely caused by acquiring just our needs, but at times could also come out of spending money on non-essential expenses…or what Shanny and Steve call it, “the stupid thing.” Getting rid of debt also calls for sacrifices and changes in a financial disposition that many people are often reluctant to embrace. Shanny and Steve are with us in this episode of The His & Her Money Show, as they talk about how changing their lifestyle helped them pay off their debt, and also how the process helped them change their frame of mind in regards to their money. They also share how working for Uber played a role in their achievement of debt freedom. Shanny and Steve started off with about $23,000 debt when they got married. Finding an apartment under $1,000 in California—an arduous feat—gave them the drive to come up with the means to achieve a debt-free life. There were hesitations and setbacks on changing their mode of living, but Shanny and Steve learned from their mistakes and evolved, and decisively came out with an enhanced and debt-free life.

Many people get into debt not just because they spend too much, but at times circumstances arise in life where some feel forced to use their credit cards. Paying your debt sometimes involves sacrificing a lot of comfort and desires, but it doesn’t have to feel that way forever. We have a lot to cover as we talk with Mike and Tawra in this episode, as they share with you how they got out of their $20,000 debt despite only earning a $22,000 income. Mike and Tawra went through fortuitous unfortunate events that caused them to slip deep into debt, even as they started off paying Mike’s initial debt before marriage. They were focused and had their minds made up that they were going to rid themselves of their debt once and for all. They put to practice some strategies that helped them spend less and get a better approach to spending their money wisely, even after paying their debt off. Mike and Tawra provide lots of money-saving content on their site Living On A Dime. They also have plenty of books and eBooks available to help you minimize expenses on cooking, groceries, and lots more.

In many cases, people may struggle with setting financial goals or keeping themselves on track to complete their goals. Oftentimes, this is more than likely due to communication problems. Talking about your goals is one thing, but what and how to talk about setting goals is another. Today, we have financial expert Michael F. Kay talk to us about his book (The Feel Rich Project) that introduces a different approach in integrating life into money, instead of the other way around. Delving into financial progress isn’t simply about setting numbers and strategies to implement. Since money is also an emotional issue, people need to be aware of how they communicate in relation to creating their plans. In this episode, Michael teaches us about identifying the important factors to consider when building a comfortable and exciting financial plan that works for you, and that enables yourself to follow through with achieving your financial dreams. Michael Kay started his career as a CPA before founding and becoming president of the multi-advisor financial life planning firm, Financial Life Focus.

Shane and Jocelyn were two teachers who got tired of giving so much time of their lives to work for someone else, instead of using that time for the things that they were passionate about.

Starting from a typical teacher’s salary, Shane and Jocelyn researched, learned, and created a highly successful online business, and are now earning more income in a month than they used to make in a year.
