Coco- “I have been looking for a badass podcast to help inspire me and keep me on track. I really feel like I found that in The Money Nerds. Last month I cut my spending drastically by switching from a new car to a new/used car, moving into a place that costs me $1000 less in rent (rent can be crazy in LA) banning myself from grub hub and focusing that money toward paying off all of my debt. Its official I have paid off the first of 7 debts! I am going the highest to lowest APR route. I so appreciate this group and the amazing discussions that are happening in here and Whitney Hansen you rock. thank you for creating a safe and inspiring space.” #moneywin
