I’ve worked in finance for over 15 years managing money for athletes, corporations, and small businesses. And I still had to unlearn almost everything to actually pay off my own $60K in debt. These are the real shifts that moved the needle. 1. Check your bank account every single morning. Not to panic. To stop lying to yourself about where you actually are.

I’ve worked in finance for over 15 years managing money for athletes, corporations, and small businesses. And I still had to unlearn almost everything to actually pay off my own $60K in debt. These are the real shifts that moved the needle. 1. Check your bank account every single morning. Not to panic. To stop lying to yourself about where you actually are. You cannot fix a number you refuse to look at. 2. Tithe or give something consistently, even when it doesn’t make sense on paper. It rewired how I thought about money. Scarcity tells you to hoard. Generosity teaches you to trust that more is coming. 3. Use a debt tracker to keep everything in your face . I have one in my bio if you are searching for one . 4. Tell one person your actual number. Not the vague “I have some debt” version. The real one. Shame keeps you stuck. Saying it out loud takes the power away from it. 5. Stop using savings as your emergency fund and then replacing it every month. Open a separate account you don’t touch. The cycle of saving and pulling keeps you in the same place for years. 6. Pay something toward your debt every single time money hits your account. Not once a month. Every deposit. It builds a rhythm your brain starts to expect and protect. 7. Audit your subscriptions and memberships quarterly. Not just the obvious ones. The $4.99 app, the $12 storage plan, the gym membership you haven’t used since March. Small leaks sink the whole ship when you’re climbing out of debt. None of this is glamorous. All of it works. Save this and come back to it when you need the reminder. If you’re starting your payoff and want a plan that actually fits real life, my guide is in bio. 🤎 #debtfreejourney #payoffdebt #womenandmoney #financialliteracy #moneymindset rebuildwithme millennialmom
