Episode 131: When You Give a 24 Year Old $600,000… - SUMMER REWIND

Today’s episode originally aired in October of 2021 and it tells an in-depth version of our financial story up until that point. We share our whirlwind adventure that started with Justin receiving $600k at age 24 from a lawsuit payout with absolutely no clue how to manage money. We then found ourselves deep in over $220k of debt. We made drastic changes that resulted in us paying off $132,000 of debt in 18 months and finally achieving what we consider "financial freedom."    In this episode we chat about:  Receiving $600k at ages 23 and 24  Spending every last penny and getting into over $220k of debt in 3.5 years How we dug our way out of the hole we created   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Episode 10: Amway SCAMway   ABOUT PRICE OF AVOCADO TOAST: Listen in with Haley and Justin Brown-Woods, married millennials picking up the pieces from the financial fiasco they created as a young couple.  They want to normalize conversations about money and learn from others on the path towards financial freedom.
