#211: How Kelly Paid Off $23K in Debt and Built a Life She Loves
Manage episode 487001604 series 2924305
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Kelly Anne Smith to talk about what it really looks like to go from barely getting by to building a life with financial peace. Kelly opens up about her early money mistakes, including the time her car was repossessed—even though she technically had the money in her account.
We talk about:
- Why not knowing where your money is going can cost you big time
- How she paid off $23K in student loans and cash-flowed a $30K wedding
- What it looked like to budget with a partner who had totally different money habits
- How she stayed motivated when budgeting got hard—and what finally clicked
If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or like you’re the only one trying to figure this money thing out—this episode is for you. Kelly’s story is full of real-life lessons, hard-won wins, and the kind of hope we all need to keep going.
