This is Part 4 of a 5-part series on breaking up with credit cards and paying off debt. You're going to have moments where you want to use your credit card again. The car breaks down. You forgot to plan for something. Your friends want to go out and you don't have the money. In this episode, I'm walking you through the most common obstacles and what to do when they hit - so you have options besides reaching for the card. This ties back to Episode 2's lesson: planning ahead and having a sinking fund removes most obstacles before you face them.

You'll learn:

  • The most common moments when you'll be tempted to use your card (and what to do instead)
  • How to handle unexpected expenses without credit cards
  • What to do when social pressure makes you want to swipe
  • Why planning your month ahead prevents most obstacles
  • What to do if you use the card (just get back to not using it)

This is Part 4 of 5. Start with Part 1 if you haven't listened yet.
