That’s My Personal Business

If you've ever felt stuck when it comes to money—whether it's paying off debt, trying to save, or building financial stability—this episode is for you. I sat down with financial educator and author Kara Perez to talk about how she paid off over $25k in student loans while making less than $16K a year, and how she went from financial struggle to financial freedom. We dive into sustainability, value-based budgeting, and how to put your money where your heart is without sacrificing your quality of life.

Kara shares her real, no-BS approach to building wealth, the hustle that got her out of debt, and how she turned her passion for financial literacy into a thriving business. We also get into the emotional side of money—how to avoid falling into a scarcity mindset while still being intentional with your spending. Whether you're working your way out of debt or just trying to be smarter with your money, this episode is packed with relatable insights and practical tips!
