Do you know what today is? It’s our anniversary, made for you and me! That’s right PB fans, this week we celebrate our first 12-months at Paychecks and Balances. Of course, we have to start by saying THANK YOU to the fans and listeners for the love and support! We wouldn’t be here without you. But, like Mr. Diddy, PB can’t stop won’t stop, so while we reflect on what we’ve achieved this year, we’re already excited for new projects, new content, and even more opportunities. We look forward to helping you be great and reaching more people in 2017 and beyond. This week’s show discusses:
- Ok, we may be a generation raised on credit and buried in debt, but we’re ready to prove we’re also more than capable of digging ourselves out of this mess
- Why we’re focusing more on our journey instead of comparing our progress to others – there’s “levels” to the game of life and we’ve finally found our lane
- What has and continues to motivate us about personal finance, debt and career management
- What’s next for Paychecks and Balances
