Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

In this Ask Shannah, I'm answering two questions from listeners struggling to find the correct financial answers.

Question 1 - "Am I on the right track financially?" I'll discuss how to determine whether your current financial actions are right and what you can do once you build a financial foundation.

Question 2- "Should I consider debt consolidation?" I'll discuss whether or not debt consolidation companies are good and what you need to know before you make that decision.
