Everybody knows that habits are hard to break, and that's especially true when it comes to money habits. Whether you're overspending the monthly budget, sleeping on the income you know you should be making, or even just not keeping track of your finances at all, one bad money habit always leads to more, and that's when your financial destruction can start to snowball, sometimes for generations. Breaking the mold is tough, but it's worth it in the end to set a good financial foundation for the present and the future! On today's episode of The His & her Money Show, we're so glad to be talking with Amir and Candace Shameih about their decision to break out of debt and grab a piece of that financial freedom. This faith-forward couple took the initiative, got their plan together, and set out to eliminate their debt in 18 months...and then they beat the odds and came out debt-free in just 7! Their story is incredible, and we can't wait for you to hear it! Neither Amir nor Candace grew up in money-conscious families. As kids, they saw the bad side of what can happen when you let the state of your finances fall back as a priority, but even so, for awhile it seemed like they were both on the same path all too soon. Fortunately, history wasn't doomed to repeat itself, and after Candace, the couple truly began to realize their options. Between the two of them, they had over $58,000, from student loans, credit cards, and a whole lot else. They could stay a slave to the lender, or they could take control of their money, bust their way out of debt, and live financial freedom to the fullest. And you can bet they chose the right one! Keep listening to find out how they did it, and maybe learn something along the way! WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Bringing your spouse on board to tackle your debt together Getting into a new mindset to start your budget Some of Candace and Amir's tips and tricks for getting out of debt Cutting monthly costs around the household How to stay focused and not give into temptation Gow faith kept Candace and Amir strong through their debt free journey Resources Mentioned The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey Thank You For Listening!

Are you looking for a way to get rid of debt? You must be open to possibilities, have the willingness to give up some things and learn new ones, continually updating your knowledge, and possessing the guts to conquer your fears. No one knows what will happen in the future. You have to take the first step towards your ultimate goal, try your best with strategies, and stay focused on your way to financial freedom. On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we have a very successful real estate investor and blogger, Rich Carey, to share his debt freedom journey and give you some hope and inspiration! Rich grew up fascinated by real estate and still thinks it is the coolest thing to do. Later, he ended up being drowned by student loan debt of $32,000. His wife, who was his girlfriend at the time, encouraged him to be responsible for his obligations and helped him craft a plan to pay off the debt. They did side hustles and started his journey of real estate investing. Afterward, they acquired a home mortgage worth $280,000. The family decided to live a very frugal life; eating out and having fancy vacations was not on their to-do list during this time. They chose to live on the smallest income possible and put everything else into savings and investments. With the combination of this unique approach and the power of real estate, plus his income from the Air Force, he found his way out from under. The mortgage was paid off quickly in just 6-7 years instead of the standard 30 years. Rich pursued his real estate investment career despite working overseas. He purchased another rental property in cash to avoid the hassle and flipped it, earning a significant profit. The success of this idea led him to own 20 properties in one location. He proved that a real estate investment is not a nightmare but a vehicle for financial freedom and a more promising future. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE • How Rich shifted his mindset and became motivated to get out of debt • How he ended up being a real estate investor • Why he settled his 20 properties in one place • How he bought 6 properties in just 10 months • How he continually upgraded his knowledge • The difference between buying things in cash or creating debt • The benefits of having investments in one city • Advice on choosing property managers • How he decides if it’s a good buy or not RESOURCES Rich's Blog - Rich On Money The Total Money Makeover - by Dave Ramsey Thank You for Listening!

Six years ago at the beginning of their debt freedom journey, Bruce and Brenda had roughly $58,000 in consumer debt, from credit cards to car loans (and their "eight-thousand dollar blanket"), and they knew they had to get out from under it, and as soon as possible. In the first year of work, they'd already paid off $30,000, and after that, it was time to get even more creative and have some fun with it. Today, debt-free and living well, Bruce is a certified Ramsey Solutions master financial coach, and this smart money couple loves to share any nugget of wisdom they can with YOU on their website, BruceMcgrew.com!

Here at His & Her Money, we know there's nothing more important when it comes to managing your finances as a smart money couple than being a united front. This goes for all things money (and marriage!) related, but it's especially necessary when you're talking about debt. The journey to debt freedom is often full of sacrifices and big life changes along the way - and sometimes even a total lifestyle overhaul - and if you're not on the same page, the back and forth struggle can put a major strain on your end goal AND your relationship. But with dedication, faith, and togetherness, any couple can fight the good fight and come out the other side strong! On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we've got a couple that did just that. Get ready for an incredible debt elimination story. Kerry and Kamille once had over $111,000 in debt, between credit cards and student loans, and it was just getting bigger. Once they truly started feeling the weight, they knew it was time to break free - and just 21 months later, they did! Now they're living completely debt free, and keep listening to find out how they did it! Right before Kerry graduated college, the couple went on an 11-night celebration trip to the Caribbean. It was expensive, but they figured they'd pay it off over time. It wasn't long after, though, that they both started thinking about how much debt was piling up on their credit cards. It was obvious that eliminating their debt was the next logical step, for their finances and their marriage moving forward, and Kerry was already considering their options when Kamille suggested they go to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. One class and they were hooked! Paying off their debt became a discipline, and just like anything, there were hiccups along the way - but there was no stopping them. And now, just 21 months later, Kerry and Kamille have paid off their debt completely, and they couldn't be happier! WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why you shouldn't be content being average When Kerry and Kamille decided to eliminate their debt The importance of accountability and "accountability partner" benefits Kerry and Kamile's faith began their approach to debt freedom Different ways Kerry and Kamille budgeted and saved money How to stay focused and disciplined RESOURCES Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University  Thank You for Listening!

Eliminating debt isn't easy. It doesn't matter if you're single, a family unit, or a couple - it'll always have its challenges, and especially as newlyweds, tackling your finances might not be a challenge you want to take on right away. But the sooner the better! Forming a united front against your debt isn't just a learning experience and a lot of hard work and sacrifices: sure, it can be a test of marriage, but it's also taking the first big step towards financial freedom and starting to build the life you want together. On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, Michael Lacy is coming in to tell us all about his debt-free journey, and how he and his wife Taylor smashed $61,000 of debt in just 16 months! Michael is the founder of Black Sheep Finance, where he's a financial coach dedicated to offering clarity and practical advice for others who are struggling to achieve their financial dreams. He's a wealth of information and you're sure to learn something today! Unlike so many Americans, Michael and Taylor didn't have student loans or a mortgage to contend with -- but they WERE swimming in credit card debt and car loans. Michael's father gave him plenty of financial advice from a young age, but once his credit card usage got started, it spiraled, and by the time they got married, he and Taylor had a whopping $61,000 of debt between them. There was no end in sight until they ended up rained in on their honeymoon, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise -- with nothing else to do, they started setting their goals for the future, tallied up their debt, and decided that it was time to finally take control of their finances. Once they were both on board, they got straight to working budgeting and setting their financial priorities. It wasn't all easy -- there were some hiccups along the way, and sometimes the process started to weigh on their marriage, but 16 months later, Michael and Taylor were enjoying the end of their debt payoff on a cruise!

On this episode of The His & Her Money show, we have Monica Louie who is here to teach on how to use Facebook Ads to grow your business. Monica Louie a full-fledged Facebook Ads expert also shared the three main components of Facebook Ads: Firstly, you need to have an offer which can be as simple as a blog post or a free offer, download or training that people wants. Your offer should be an attention-grabbing one for people to engage with. Secondly, you need to find the right people who are interested in your offer. These people will share and spread your offer to their families and friends, gaining you organic reach. Lastly, make an attention-grabbing ad. This ad will grab other people’s attention and entice them to click through. Monica also mentioned that she started with just as little as $5 a day for her budget. According to her, engagement plays a big role in your ad. More engagement means people are sharing the ads for you. It lowers the cost since it is higher click through. It also means more eyeballs for your ads. She also shared the common mistakes that people make. People don’t have a clear strategy, what their goals are for their business. They are confused about the different things they want to do, which campaigns to use, and who are the audiences to target. They just dive in and didn’t know what they are doing. Lack of education can also hold you back in Facebook Ads success. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How Monica started with Facebook ads What are the components of a Facebook Ad What are the important things that you need to take note when you are starting Who should be your target audience Is engagement important when it comes to ads?
