Sarah Poynton-Ryan: From £60K Debt to Financial Freedom (The Truth About Banks, Spending & Your "F*ck You" Number).
At 27, Sarah Poynton-Ryan found herself drowning in £60,000 of debt, credit cards, loans, bad decisions, and no financial education to fall back on. Fast forward a few years, and she’s built a property empire, authored a bestselling book, and now educates thousands on the real mechanics of money.
In this episode, Matt and Sarah go deep into the truth about financial freedom: the shame of debt, why schools never taught you about money, how to know whether to invest or clear debt first, and what a "F*ck You" number really is.
This isn’t about Lambos and crypto wins. It’s about everyday people taking control, whether you’re in your 20s or your 60s.
- How she cleared £60K in 23 months.
- Why you should never trust your bank to teach you about money.
- What to do with £10, £100 or £1,000 per month.
- When going bankrupt might be the right call, and when it definitely isn't.
- Teaching kids and teens about compound interest.
- Why your spending habits, not your salary, are sabotaging you.
Whether you're just starting out or starting over, this one could change your entire financial trajectory.
