How I Overcame Shame and Have Paid Off Debt - Queer Money Ep. 171
Description
On this episode of Queer Money, we have another member of the Credit Card Pay Off Course.
If you had to pick one adjective to describe how you feel about your credit card debt, what would it be? Most people choose the word shame. Jeanette was in a very dark place just six months ago, feeling like a failure when it came to money. Today, her outlook has shifted completely, and she is confident that she CAN and WILL succeed in paying off her debt—with the support of the Credit Card Pay Off Course.
On this episode of Queer Money, Jeanette joins us to share her story of acquiring $60K in debt, explaining how taking out a personal loan to pay off credit cards did not improve her financial situation. She describes the scarcity mindset that contributed to her money issues and walks us through the medical event and the peer pressure to spend on her sister’s wedding that put her on the wrong path.
Jeanette also discusses her experience with the Credit Card Pay Off Course so far, offering insight into how she has gone from feeling irresponsible and overwhelmed to confident and hopeful. Listen in for Jeanette’s take on paying off debt the ‘hard way’ and learn how support and accountability have been crucial to her success!
