Let's talk about debt. There’s a lot of shame and fear around debt, and much of it is stirred up by money experts who want you to believe that you aren’t good enough unless you are debt-free. Can we please cut the crap and be honest about debt. We all have had it or will have it. It does not reflect who you are or your skills with money. Life happens. You go to school and take on debt. You had a leak in your roof and needed to put the repairs on your credit cards. You went shopping to feel better about yourself. It’s not a crime. Leslie Tayne, a leading New York financial attorney and Founder and Managing Director of Tayne Law Group, says that debt is never a death sentence, contrary to what some will have you believe. This is your masterclass in debt, and this conversation will load you with useful tips and leave you feeling much better about debt in general. In this episode, you will walk away with everything you need to reframe, pay off, and create healthy habits around debt.

Leslie and I talk about:

What your rights are re: debt collectors (what they can/can’t do)
What debt negotiation and settlement options exist (and how it all works)
How certain life changes affect debt (loved ones passing, divorce)
How to pay off your debt
