Informed Choice Radio Personal Finance Podcast ICR180: Vicky Eves, I Beat Debt
My guest on the podcast today is Vicky Eves, founder of the blog I Beat Debt.
Vicky is in her early 30s and lives in Surrey. As she will explain during our conversation, Vicky found herself in debt following the death of her father.
She quickly took control of the situation and now shares her story with other people who want to get out of debt.
In today’s episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to Vicky about her story of getting into and back out of debt, typical reactions to getting into debt, how to make the biggest impact on your debts, how winning a game show resulted in the repayment of half of her debt in one day, and much more.
