Together, they cracked down on $57,000 worth of debt and knocked it all out super fast.

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. Check out Linda's book for more and keep the conversation going!

Casanova is a voice of nothing but inspiration, positivity, and light, and anybody can learn a thing or two from his mindset and practical advice for getting through the rough patches and coming out strong!

In his own words, he's built his life and success around one main thing: relationships. And obviously it's served him well! He has strong views on networking and cultivating strong relationships in work and life in general. Casanova also gives us some insight into how he's applied it to countless situations.

This episode discusses an area of your personal finance journey that has been overlooked. We are joined by Danielle Kunkle-Roberts to discuss the Health Savings Account and the benefits of opening one at any point in your financial journey. 

Danielle is co-owner of Boomer Benefits, a licensed insurance agency that helps Baby Boomers navigate their entry into Medicare. 

Health Savings Accounts or HSA’s are a great savings tool to put aside the necessary money for Medicare and what it’s going to cost you in your retirement.

An HSA is an account that you can open when you have a qualifying high deductible health insurance plan that you can deposit money into tax-free that grows over time with interest that you can use to pay for qualified medical expenses.

This episode of the His & Her Money Show is ALL about credit. And we've got the best person to lead the conversation. Jeri Toliver is taking us through the ins and outs of the credit score and how our actions can impact it positively or negatively. But even Jeri wasn't always the most proactive person when it came to credit. She's letting us in on her story, a single mom of two realizing her financial situation wasn't what it needed to be, to where she is now as a homeowner with an 850 score and thriving.

Bad credit can follow you around for life, or you could get serious and start making the changes now to get your credit right. Now that Jeri is getting all the good rates and seeing the benefits of having her credit in check, she's full of wisdom about how you can do the same while building wealth and setting yourself up for the future. She doesn't stop until she's covered all the bases, and this is a great episode for everyone!

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!

A sizable amount from a savings account and a small amount of money from a lawsuit settlement were the two methods that our guest today used to pay off her $62,000 debt in a little over a year. 

Kiara lost her job right when she had a plan to pay off her student’s loan debt in 8 years or maybe 5 years if she worked hard enough. But that suddenly took on a different turn when she suddenly got fired and she had to sue her former employer. 

Kiara shares how being an avid saver helped her pay off her debt faster even when she did not have a stable job. She also shares how the sacrifice of living at home helped her pay off her debt faster than most people.

Listen in to learn how Kiara has a principal of saving 10% of her income whether she is employed, underemployed or unemployed. You will also learn how she used the snowball method when consolidating her loans- which is basically paying off the smaller loans with the largest interests first.

A couple needs to be on the same page when it comes to major decision making like paying off debt, which is what our guests today did to finally pay off theirs. 

Marek and Kothney-Issa were initially living life to the fullest, enjoying their marriage without caring about the debt. This was until Marek came across Dave Ramsey on the internet and brought the matter up with his wife. 

They share the strategy they used to pay off their $120k worth of debt in 24 months. They also share why they decided to live in a tiny house and why they believe it’s a good investment.

Tracie is a 100% self-employed freelance photographer who only got serious about paying off her $75,000 debt in August 2018. The overwhelming burden of debt prompted her to take the necessary action.

Tracie shares how being a self-employed entrepreneur with an unstable income became her excuse for making slow debt repayments. She also shares how listening to other people’s stories on the His and Her Money show brought her to the realization that she wasn’t doing enough to finish off her debt.

Listen in to learn how you can also pay off your debt even without a stable income. You will also learn how to raise your rates as a freelancer, and ask for what you deserve which might be of huge help in paying off that debt you owe.

On the His & Her Money Show, we’ve covered real estate investing from a lot of different angles:...but never live this.

As Byron and Sharnice lost their jobs and needed a reliable source of income. Byron had tried real estate investing a few years before but was never able to make it a good profit.

Then one day, Byron heard a podcast about a very interesting real estate investing opportunity with very low cash and didn’t require having a perfect score.

That opportunity was investing in mobile homes.

Find out how Byron and Sharnice took this investing opportunity (that most of us didn’t hear about) and turned it into new streams of income for their family and education for a whole new kind of investor.

Today’s episode features another couple’s debt-freedom journey...with a twist. Like all of the other couples we’ve interviewed, Brad and Tara worked together to conquer a mountain of debt. The difference between Brad and Tara’s story is their path toward debt freedom.

Money is a very important part of the relationship when you’re a couple, but it isn’t the ONLY part.

There’s also romance.

Romance is the glue that brings two people together. Romance is what keeps a couple together.

But in the daily mix of work, kids, school trips, doctor’s visits, family trips, and more, things like “date night” or simply talking to your partner become less and less of a priority.

Austin and Rachel Holt want to change that.

In this episode of the His & Her Money Show, Austin and Rachel Holt share their advice on strengthening your relationship by managing a different budget, your time.

If you are in a relationship that has lost its spark because you don’t have time, this episode will provide practical steps that you can use today to start making a positive change for your relationship’s future.

Austin and Rachel Holt are marriage counselors who run the marriage counseling business, Because Marriage Matters.

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. It wasn’t until both her debit card and credit card had been declined that she finally realized she needed to make some lifestyle changes.

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.

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?
• Conversations parents should have with their kids about paying for college
• The “right-left” education approach Ryan says schools should adapt to help students find better jobs

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. It allows the average person to collectively gather money with other investors to buy properties that they would not be able to buy individually. 

Mark and Tamiel turned towards purchasing larger, multi-family units or apartment buildings because the track they were on would only lead them to financial independence late in life.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Ways to get involved in real estate syndication
• Differences between single-home and multi-unit investments
• How to find trustworthy and reliable partners
• Factors to consider before investing
• How to manage and divide revenue for multi-unit investments
• What to look for in an investment area
• How to come up with the capital for an initial investment
