Like I would never have thought to even do that to help pay off debt. But I bet you there's some things that you can do to help pay off debt that you know might be a little extreme to other people but maybe not as extreme to you.” - Ashley Patrick Timestamps 00:00 - What today's episode is about 02:26 - How to have your own Budget Strategy Session episode 02:56 - Get to know Christine 11:02 - Christine's goals 12:42 - Christine's financial journey 16:01 - Christine's long term debt payoff goal 18:09 - Book recommendation 19:19 - What kept her motivated 20:45 - Take away from this episode 23:34 - Last words of wisdom If you'd like to work through your own struggle with your budget 1:1 with me, sign up for a FREE Budget Strategy Session on The Money Mindset Podcast!
