Business Generals PodcastI was recently interviewed by Davis Mutabwa on the Business Generals Podcast where I shared my story from living in my mother’s house to paying off a $425k home in 3 years.

You may have already paid off your mortgage but you probably know someone who is about to purchase their home or just did and could use even a small piece of my journey to apply to their lives.

Davis and I discussed a number of aspects of my journey including:

  • Lifestyle choices – car or no car?
  • Saving strategy at any age (even if you are young),  including advice for saving up for your down payment
  • Resisting the temptation to spend – but not living on rice and beans!
  • My timeline of building up my savings and paying off my mortgage – can you model this?
  • My freelance writing career making $30,000 per year – would this help your mortgage bill?
  • Dealing with negative hate mail and public backlash when my story hit the main news outlets
  • Becoming an author – the process involved for me to publish my first book ‘Burn Your Mortgage’ and how that has helped me further my speaking , writing and money coaching career
