Episode 382: How Ariana Paid Off $68K Of Credit Card Debt, Quit Her Job & Found A Budgeting System That Worked REWIND

This week we are rewinding to Ariana Rodriguez’s episode, who joined the Journey To Launch podcast to talk about her experience on the Netflix documentary, “Get Smart With Money” and how she was able to turn her finances around.

We chat about how she used her skills to begin a side hustle, that eventually allowed her to quit her job, the power of forgiving yourself of past money mistakes, automating your money and more.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The internal struggle and mindset that plays a role in the cycle of debt and debt repayment
• How Ariana pivoted from an education career to tech project management in order to increase her income 
• Leveraging skills for side hustles to speed up the debt payment process
• What the “should lifestyle” is and why it keeps people stuck in the debt system
• Why financial freedom is possible and attainable at any level + more
