Do you avoid conversations about money with family, friends, loved ones... maybe even yourself?
Much of our actions with money today stem from our past beliefs and experiences. Learning to voice those beliefs and experiences about money is the first step in creating real change in your financial life.
My guests today are Julien and Kiersten Saunders, the co-founders of Rich and Regular, Hosts & Producers of Money on the Table, and authors of the forthcoming book, Cashing Out. After paying off over $200,000 in debt while making the transition from corporate employee to full-time entrepreneur, they have made it their mission to inspire better conversations about money. The conversation that we ended up having was nothing close to what I thought it was going to be, and I think that it's really going to open your eyes and your heart to looking at your past with money differently.

Tracy and her husband paid off their entire mortgage within 3 1⁄2 years of getting married. While Tracy was paying off debt, she scrimped and saved to put any little bit of extra money towards her mortgage.
Tracy now teaches women how to take control of their money and pay off debt WITHOUT sacrificing everything they love. She believes you need to figure out what you truly love to do (along with your family) and look at cutting the things you don’t love.
