Manage episode 447186458 series 3503595
About 12 years ago I was broke and broken up with. Debt seemed insurmountable and I was in a constant state of scarcity. That state really does keep you from moving forward.
So here I am - diving deep and giving you some of the strategies that got me from there to here…not without a few wrong turns of course. What I found was its not just one thing that gets us out of debt. It’s the combination of the what and the woo!
There are different types of debt - with different values.
Credit: credit cards, personal loans, and home loans
Messy debts: overdue bills, late payments and stuff that accumulate often unnoticed.
When you understand the difference between good debt used to leverage and lead to financial growth, and bad debt, which are all those things you paid on credit and forget immediately.
I know this because I have lived it - more than once. One of the best things I discovered on the part of my happy money journey that took me out of debt was EFT or tapping. There are a number of ways to change your state, and take you from a feeling of scarcity to abundance but this is one of my favourites. Here are some links that will help you explore more:
