Germaine Martina Foley is a Personal Finance Strategist. She thrives off of teaching women how to dismantle the cycle of paycheck to paycheck living, ditch debt, and accumulate savings. Her passion is to work with women in the “Messy Middle Class.” These are women who make good money, but have a hard time managing it well. They often find themselves thinking things like “I make too much money to be this broke!” or “I work so hard, but I have nothing but a stack of bills to show for it!” Germaine identifies with this group of ladies the most because that’s where she found herself several years ago. Her money story isn’t pretty, but she wouldn’t change it for the world. She and her husband paid off over $200,000 in debt, and now she’s on a mission to help other women break free!
In this episode we talk about how Germaine and her husband paid off $200,000 in 6 years, the low point where she felt that she had no option but to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and how that was a giant waste of time, how she got her partner on board with paying off debt, celebrating the small wins and why that is so important, sacrifices they made to pay off debt, getting rid of the Disney timeshare, and breaking through the paycheck to paycheck cycle.
