The His and Her Money Show (general)

In this episode of the His & Her Money Show, we're having THAT conversation with Arian Simone and Dr. Nicole Garner Scott. These women noticed the lack of financial education in the African-American community and did way more than just pay attention, they took it to heart and teamed up to start a movement.

LEGACY OR LOSE is a campaign focused on bringing awareness and filling the cracks, doubling down on the importance of wealth-building, education, and financial literacy.

Arian and Nicole have built a powerful community and they're here right now to share some of their insights on tackling the wealth gap and how together, we can leave bias and systemic oppression in the past. But this interview is just the tip of the iceberg for these two. They're a wealth of information and inspiration and there's so much more to know, so you can get involved and join the movement at legacyorlose.com!

Here at the His & Her Money Show, we love hearing debt-free stories, especially from smart money couples who got their head in the game and are crushing all their financial goals. In today's episode, we're talking with a couple whose story is a little bit different than the norm. Three years ago, Curt and Wendy kickstarted their debt-free ride with over 20 years of marriage, 6 kids, two full-time jobs, and $1,000,000 in debt between them.

Yeah, you heard that right: a MILLION dollars.

This couple is working on doing the impossible, paying off their monster debt and socking away money for their future and their kids. Today they share their strategy, mindset, budget tips, and how they even sold their SoCal house to tackle real estate investment to generate income. It's a crazy journey and they're not done yet - they've eliminated $650,000 of debt so far and can't wait to cross that financial independence finish line!

As financial bloggers, His & Her Money sees hundreds of debt-free stories. We love to see those calculators out and the numbers going down, but these stories aren't just about the money, it's also about the people behind it. In today's episode, our guest's experience with becoming debt-free has a different spin on what money means to her and how she's used her financial smarts to better her life in unpredictable ways.

We've got Kassandra Dasent here with us today, a boss lady CEO who went all-in to knock out her $55,000 consumer debt. A successful businesswoman with a passion for holistic wellness, once she realized her debt was holding her back, Kassandra was giving up her dream condo and saying goodbye for now to a lot of the luxuries in her life, just to get her finances right and become more fiscally responsible for the future.

This wasn't just a financial journey, but a total lifestyle overhaul. While budgeting, saving, and upping her income potential, Kassandra was shaking off decades worth of bad habits and learning so much about herself and how she was managing her money. And now she's back to living her best life with her husband debt-free! Kassandra is a great example of putting in the work, and we hope you can learn a lot from her inspiring journey.

On today's episode of His & Her Money, we were so happy to link up with a couple from our Smart Money Couples group for a conversation about debt freedom. Christy is an elementary school teacher living in Qatar with her husband, and most of the debt she brought into their marriage was student loans.

Several reasons pushed her towards paying off her debt, mostly her faith, and also the opportunities she realized she was missing out on. Initially, debt held Christy back from her dreams of being a missionary, and even after getting married, there were things the couple still struggled to do.

And that's when it was time to hustle!

Rachel wasn't a stranger to real estate when she decided to make the switch to mobile home investment - she just wasn't totally prepared for all the twists and turns she'd hit along the way.

But no worries: on today's episode of the His & Her Money Show, Rachel is spreading the word on how she did it and how you can get started too!

We hope you've got your pad and pencils out to take some notes and from Rachel as she breaks down the decision to go from burned-out landlord to mobile home investment superstar. She's got an insider perspective on how the market moves and some super helpful stepping stones for getting into the business, from choosing your communities, cutting your deals, negotiating with park owners, and so much more.

We've all heard about toxic people and relationships. Even if you don't realize it at first, not everyone in your life is going to be a positive influence and it's easier than you might think to miss the red flags of a toxic person in your circle. Sometimes we do notice, but we just don't want to act on it.

The His & Her Money Show isn't just a financial podcast - we're here to help you with life, marriage, and all things in between, and today's guest is here to do just that. Dr. Laura Dabney is a psychiatrist specializing in psychotherapy, and an expert on identifying toxic people and relationships and helping others figure out just what to do with them. Whether it's a friend, partner, or family member, there are steps you can take to distance yourself and either cut ties completely or put in some work to better the relationship.

Laura breaks it down for us with some invaluable tips for avoiding the negative influence of others and surrounding yourself with the positives. Her pearls of wisdom can apply to all sorts of situations - yes, even financially - and we hope you can implement them into your lives and break any toxic cycle you might find yourselves in.
