We have a new website with tips on personal finances, organization, and productivity. To support our first tip on personal finance "What Would It Feel Like to Be Debt-Free" we're bringing back an oldie but a goodie from season 1 on living debt-free. Enjoy!
--
Does a life debt-free sound like a dream? It doesn't have to be. Penelope is 30 years old living in NYC and paid off $28,000 in debt in 7 months! She shares her journey and her "why" that kept her motivated.
Here are some of the topics we will explore:
- tips for saving money on your wedding
- mindset of pursuing financial wealth
- managing your finance from single to married
Money saving tips for your wedding:
- Don’t tell the bakery that it’s a wedding cake. You can order the same cake for less when it’s not identified as a “wedding cake.”
- Wedding dresses from a previous season will be marked significantly.
- Non-traditional wedding venues can be an inexpensive option.
Financial Resources:
- Get Paid For Your Opinions
- Dave Ramsey's 7 Baby Steps

Defining Success on Your Terms
Making Way
03/12/24 • 60 min
Ever felt the pressure of societal expectations weighing down on you, dictating the career path you ought to take? Join me, as I sit down with Tae Kim, the Financial Tortoise, in a heart-to-heart conversation that challenges these norms and offers insights into finding harmony between amassing wealth and personal contentment. Our guest Tae presents a compelling narrative of his life's journey, from his early days as an immigrant to his audacious career shifts, all in the pursuit of following his heart.
Navigating life as the child of immigrants brings unique hurdles, and in this heartfelt exchange, Tae and I delve into these battles. We discuss the generational shifts in education, the quest for financial security, and the transformative value of mentorship. Sharing personal transitions, from my time in academia and the military to finance, we underscore the importance of introspection and bravery in steering our professional lives. This episode peels back the layers of our identities to reveal the importance of aligning careers with our evolving values and passions.
What does it truly mean to take control of your financial destiny? We tackle this head-on by chronicling our own experiences of debt repayment, lifestyle frugality, and career transformations, like venturing into YouTube entrepreneurship. The conversation goes beyond traditional narratives, touching upon the emotional complexities of major life decisions and the power of a steady financial approach. If you're itching for a dose of inspiration to craft a life that resonates deeply with who you are, this episode is an invitation to redefine success on your terms.
