I'm posting today's episode from my hotel room in Toronto Canada. I think I may be losing my voice, but I still wanted to put out an episode for you.

I mentioned last week that Popcorn Finance was named as a finalist for two Plutus Awards. One of those nominations was for Best Series for the Poppin' with F.I.R.E. series I did earlier this year. So today I'm bringing you one of my favorite episodes from that series!

Jillian Shares how a tough experience as a child pushed her towards financial independence.

Today's Guest: Jillian Johnsrud from Montana Money Adventures (https://www.montanamoneyadventures.com/)

Paying off debt can be an emotional journey, so it makes sense that it would be tough to keep that momentum going once your debt is gone. Today I tackle a question that I received from Tamie on this very topic with some help from financial coach Ericka Young.

I received a great question from Tessa about how to calculate a debt payoff date when your payments are not consistent. This was a tough question so I went over a couple of options.

Here's a link to the debt snowball calculator I reference in this episode.
