This is our first episode of the Money Nerds podcast.
And we’ve got Zina Kumok kicking off our first episode.
Zina’s story is extremely impressive. This girl is debt free and worked her butt off to pay off $28,000 in just three years.
Here’s the kicker- she did this while making less than $30,000 a year. Pretty impressive right?
In this episode we talk about student loans, combining income with her husband, the moment she realized something needed to change, birthright trips, and even how she stayed motivated over the three years it took her to pay off debt.

I ended up getting $100 knocked off my bill just by asking. Never hurts to ask. All they could’ve said was no. Happy to get a yes.” [wc_fa icon=”arrow-right” margin_left=”” margin_right=””][/wc_fa] Allie- “I recently moved cross country for love and a new job. With a substantial increase in pay (know your worth!) and a much more sound budget sense, I’m knocking down my credit card debt faster than ever.
