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. To find out more, visit her website at PetrinaTurner.com

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!
