Today my guest on the show is actually me!
I was recently featured on PT Money’s Masters of Money Podcast. After listening to it, I called up PT and asked him if I could share the episode on the Money Peach Podcast….and he was nice enough to say yes!
Inside this episode we talk about budgeting cash flow planning and how to get started when you don’t know where to start AND you’re living paycheck to paycheck.
Inside the episode we talk about:
- Hitting rock bottom financially (our story)
- The one thing which is still hard for me today in terms of money
- The spender vs the saver in the relationship
- The Promise Project
- My thoughts on refinancing and a strategy to pay off the mortgage
- Goals for retirement (not wishes)

- And more…
Now, I have a few questions for you all…
