Episode Synopsis
Welcome to episode 206 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this classic episode from the archives, we’re talking about how to stop struggling with chronic debt–no matter how insurmountable it might seem. So many of us struggle with managing debt. Our homes, lives, and budgets can feel totally out of control. To all the moms out there, I know how easy it is to get caught up in all the things that need to get done every day and not even realize that we’re allowing massive deficits to pile up. Financial security suddenly feels out of reach to the point where you just want to snap your fingers and wish it all away. This exact scenario played out for today’s guest, Lauren Greutman. Lauren is a consumer savings expert, author, and spokeswoman who works to help busy moms create financial freedom for their families. She’s been featured on the Today Show, the Rachael Ray Show, Nightline, Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, and WNBC. She’s also the author of The Recovering Spender and Insufficient Funds: One Woman’s Journey Out of Debt and Into Financial Freedom.
