#MoneyWin
Stephanie– “When the pandemic hit last year I stopped paying on my credit cards. Three of them went to collections and I’ve been avoiding them. I settled two of them this month using my husband and my stimulus (one will be paid by July, the other in Jan. 2022). The third, I was able to lower my interest for a year to catch up which has been extremely helpful. The fourth, I will work on negotiating a settlement once I can save up a little more money.
It feels so good to be getting back on track!” #moneywin
