Stephanie's debt free journey. Take a listen as Stephanie shares her story on how she got into debt, how she and her husband got to a point of really needing to fix things, and how they've done just that! You can find her on Twitter @StephanieMarthi
Stephanie had about R80k worth of debt when she started her debt free journey and she shares about her student loans, credit cards, and debt with SARS. Tax from ones side-hustle is often misunderstood or ignored, but it does unfortunately catch up with you.
Stephanie and her husband have worked together to pay off all of her debt, and they are now working on his debt. They've really put in the focus, determination, and hard work necessary to do this and it's super encouraging to hear their story.
