About this episode

How do you blast away debt? I’ll give you a hint, it is not about paying the minimum payment on your debts. That just keeps you spinning the wheels. Our guest, Adam Carroll has something called The Shred Method that is going to revolutionize how you think about debt and how fast you can get out of it. Adam paid off his home in record time saving over $180,000 in interest in the process and realized he had something he needed to share with everyone. In this episode, Adam shares how you can be completely debt free within 3-5 years (crazy, I know, but possible), a mindset shift you need to get out of debt, how to balance paying off debt while saving and investing, and how to find financial freedom this year. As always, if you’re in debt, I want you to know that there’s nothing wrong with you. This is a shame-free zone. Listen, take what works for you, and let’s get to blasting away your debt. Let’s start talkin’.
