Today’s convo is all about what happens when real life hits your budget… and how community + clarity changes everything. 💛 When You’re Trying to Stay Debt-Free in a Hard Season Michelle shared the story of one of our longtime office hours friends: Hard-working mama Supporting her husband’s startup Raising kids (including one who needs extra care) Watching savings slowly shrink Determined not to go back to credit cards She was weighing: 401(k) loan Business loan Personal loan Side hustles Anything to avoid high-interest debt And instead of spiraling alone?
