In Greek mythology, Atlas holds the heavens on his shoulders as a punishment from Zeus. And every time you see an image of Atlas, remember the hundreds of millions of Americans who are perpetually burdened by debt. To many of those consumers, the weight of credit cards, personal loans, and car loans feels like an eternal struggle… the new normal with no end in sight. But like our guest today, you can reject that fate and rewrite your story. Jade Warshaw paid off almost half a million dollars in consumer debt over the better half of a decade. Now she uses her hard-earned knowledge to teach others how to do the same. She’s a Ramsey personality and is the author of the new book ‘What No One Tells You About Money’ which explores the emotional side of personal finances. We dive into that and also cover:
Facing deep emotional struggles when dealing with debt
Financial discussions should include emotional health
Debt can strain personal relationships significantly
Understanding money involves more than just numbers
Feeling isolated in financial struggles
Role of debt in growing a family
Good debt vs bad debt
Jade’s final piece of advice
And much more!
