I'm joined by Rod Griffin, Senior Director of Public Education and Advocacy at Experian, to unpack some surprising insights from their latest survey on paying off debt. You'd think paying down debt would instantly feel like a weight lifted – but for many, it's not that simple. Rod shares why some people don't feel that immediate impact and what you can do to make the most of your financial progress. In this episode we discuss: The unexpected emotional disconnect some people experience after paying off debt. Why a three-month period may be key to fully feeling the benefits of being debt-free. How mindset shifts – not just willpower – are essential for staying out of debt. Why having cash on hand might not prevent people from taking on more debt. How social media can fuel unnecessary spending and financial pressure. The concept of quiet debt and why so many people struggle to talk about it. How open conversations about money can alleviate shame and guilt. The critical difference between credit and debt – and why that distinction matters. You'll walk away knowing: Paying off debt can have emotional benefits, but not everyone feels a significant change immediately. A three-month period is often needed to fully feel the impact of paying off debt. Mindset shifts are crucial for staying out of debt; willpower alone isn't enough. Having cash on hand may not prevent people from taking on debt. Social media can create pressure to keep up with others, leading to unnecessary spending. Finding personal anchors and understanding true needs can help manage debt. People are looking for ways to both reduce expenses and increase income to manage debt. Quiet debt refers to hidden financial struggles that people often don't discuss. Shame around money is common, but open conversations can relieve that pressure. Credit and debt are different; understanding this can help manage finances better. Follow the show so you never miss an episode, and keep the conversation going on Instagram @everyonestalkinmoney.

Transforming Your Financial Journey[00:09:01] “That was when I realized, wow, I have just been following someone else's recipe for success and it does not feel like that for me. I did what I suspect a lot of people would do once they figure out that they are in a massive amount of debt. I googled how to get out of debt and how to get out of debt fast.”[00:16:16] “And so one day a week on my screenless Sunday, I don't have to impress anybody. I don't have to do anything to try to convince people of who I am or how I'm valued. And I just be, and that one habit that I have implemented for the last couple of years now has done such wonders for both my mental health and my wealth building journey. Because I started to see, oh, actually there's a lot of things that I can do that brings me peace and actually makes me feel like a valuable person that doesn't rely on external validation.” [00:39:23] “I've had hundreds of people to test this [CRUSH] framework on over the last eight years. The acronym stands for Curate your accounts, which is C. Reverse into independence, Understand your net worth, Spend intentionally, and then H is heal your money wounds. The book is structured where there's five habits that you can try per step in the framework.”Connect with Bernadette JoyWebsite - https://www.crushyourmoneygoals.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bernadebtjoy/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernadebtjoy/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bernadebtjoyX - https://x.com/bernadebtjoyCrush Your Money Goals Free Guide - https://www.crushyourmoneygoals.com/freeguideAudio/video editing and show notes by Podcast Abundance.

Is paying off debt or investing (and potentially using more debt) the best way to reach FIRE? The average American has $104,215 in mortgages, student loans, credit cards, and other debt. Where do YOU stand? If the end goal is FIRE, you need a game plan for your debt, in which case this episode is for you! Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Not all debt is bad. When used responsibly, it can be a powerful tool that allows you to buy appreciating assets and hedge against inflation. Today, guest co-hosts Kyle Mast and Amanda Wolfe join our panel to share their thoughts on debt. We'll share how much debt we each have (ranging from zero to millions), how our philosophies on debt have evolved, and how debt can ultimately help you reach FIRE. But that's not all. We'll also discuss the types of bad debt that could derail your FIRE journey and the investments you don't want to be stuck with during an economic downturn. We'll even get into the most important financial protection against debt risk—savings and reserves—and why these funds should grow proportionally to your debt! In This Episode We Cover Paying off debt versus investing (and which strategy is best for FIRE) Why well-leveraged debt is one of the best long-term hedges against inflation The types of debt that could propel you toward an early retirement “Bad” real estate investments you don't want to be holding during a market downturn The most irresponsible uses of debt (that you should avoid at all costs!) Why you should always grow your savings and reserves in tandem with debt How much debt WE have (and how our opinions on debt have changed) And So Much More!

Paying off debt isn't just about following some boring budget advice. If it were that easy, you'd already be debt-free. In this episode, I dive into the real secrets no one talks about when it comes to debt—why it's not just a financial problem but an emotional one and how you can actually flip the script to make it work in your favor. I'm breaking down the psychological side of debt payoff, revealing how small wins can give you the momentum to crush it, and sharing some of the most insane things people have done to get out of debt. Trust me, it's time to get real about what works—and what doesn't. Listener Takeaways: Debt isn't just financial; it's emotional. You need to tackle your feelings of shame, guilt, and fear to truly conquer it. The psychological win method builds momentum—focus on small victories, celebrate them, and use that energy to keep going. Debt-free doesn't mean perfect. Progress over perfection is what matters, so let go of the guilt and keep moving forward. Get creative with how you pay off debt—there's no one-size-fits-all approach, and sometimes, thinking outside the box leads to big results. Accountability is key. Having someone in your corner can make all the difference. Subscribe & Share: If this episode hit home for you, make sure to subscribe and leave a review.

Daniel and Logan talk about the importance of debt payoff and why it is so crucial for building wealth.
This week we are rewinding to a conversation I had with Veronique Graves, a fellow Journeyer and former member of my past community the Money Launch Club. Veronique is a self employed sign language interpreter who is on her way to financial freedom. After becoming a member of the Money Launch Club, she went from living paycheck to paycheck to paying off debt, saving, and investing. Veronique advises those on their financial journey to be patient, set specific goals, and surround themselves with financially savvy individuals. Her motivation for financial independence stems from her desire for life flexibility and the ability to help others, inspired by how her family supported her financially in the past. In this episode, Veronique shares: How working as a freelance contractor requires careful financial planning due to the irregular nature of her income. How she successfully managed to save enough to avoid living paycheck to paycheck and how she is paying off her credit card debt The significance of celebrating small wins and staying motivated by recognizing progress over time + much more.
