New Enrollment from John
One client, Sarah, was shocked to find she was paying 29.99% interest on a store credit card with a $2,300 balance while focusing all her extra payments on a 5.5% car loan. This simple inventory exercise helped her redirect her strategy and save over $400 in interest in just three months.
I once helped a client audit her subscriptions, and we discovered 14 different monthly charges totaling $267. She immediately cut $189 worth, directing that money toward her debt instead—resulting in nearly $2,300 more toward debt payment annually.
One client paid off $7,200 in credit card debt in just five months by renting his pickup truck through a peer-to-peer service on weekends and evenings when he wasn't using it.
As one client told me, "The spreadsheets track my financial progress, but my journal tracks my emotional progress—both are equally important in this journey."
Key insight: "The lifestyle sacrifices were temporary, but the financial freedom is permanent."
Key insight: "I never would have thought to question the bill amounts before this experience. Now I know medical bills are absolutely negotiable."
Key insight: "The shame I felt about my debt kept me from taking action for too long. Once I treated it as a problem to solve rather than a personal failure, everything changed."
