Are You on the Right Financial Track? + ...

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

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m answering two big money questions from listeners who want to make the right financial moves but aren’t sure how.

Question 1: "Am I on the right track financially?"

How do you actually know if you’re making smart money moves? I’ll break down how to assess where you are, what a strong financial foundation looks like, and what to do next if you’re feeling stuck.

Question 2: "Should I consider debt consolidation?"

Debt consolidation sounds like a quick fix—but is it really? I’ll share the truth about debt consolidation companies, what to watch out for, and when it might (or might not) be a smart move.Listen in for actionable advice to help you make confident money decisions!
