• How This Couple Paid Off $51K in Debt—After Cutting Their Income in Half | 422

  Snag Our Simplified Budget System!How do you make $18,000 a month and still feel broke? For this couple, it wasn’t about how much they were earning — it was about what they were doing with their money (or not doing). Before coaching, they were stuck in what we lovingly call “money magic” mode: overspending from one big Bills account, moving money around with Cash App and Facebook Pay, and juggling 24 debts with no real system. 🙈The good news? They turned it ALL around — and paid off $51,000 in debt in under a year, even after their income was cut in half. 😲👏In this episode, we’re breaking down:The difference between a budget and a system (hint: this couple didn’t need another spreadsheet)What “money magic” looks like — and why it keeps you stuckHow separating accounts (yes, even a date night one 💕) helped them finally make progressThe power of automation — paycheck transfers, bill payments, and savings goals on autopilotWhy they sold a car, asked for raises, and started side hustles (without sacrificing date night!)From Cash App chaos to debt-free clarity, this is a transformation that’ll inspire you to stop feeling like your income is slipping through your fingers — and start building a plan that actually works for your real life.🎧 Listen in to hear how they did it — and how you can start making progress, no matter where you’re starting.Connect With Us: 1️⃣ Facebook Group – Join the community.
