We kick things off with Jess sharing her money wins, because we love a little financial main character energy to start the episode. Then we get into a dilemma that feels a bit too real. What do you do when a debt has snowballed way beyond what you originally owed… and is there actually a way to negotiate it down? We unpack what your options might look like, what’s realistic, and where to even start. And then a DM slid into our inbox that had us thinking about the long game. What’s the best way to set your kids up financially? We chat through the different approaches, what actually makes a difference, and how to balance giving your kids a leg up without overcomplicating it. Plus, we read out one of your five-star reviews (which we are obsessed with, by the way). If you’ve been loving the show, you can leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or drop your thoughts on Spotify, we genuinely read them all and love sharing them with the community. As always, it’s a little bit chaotic, very real, and full of the money conversations we should probably be having more often.
