I had the privilege to sit down with the one and only Liz Weston of NerdWallet.com and AskLizWeston.com. I first met Liz when she interviewed me and my wife for an article she was writing on the vicious debt cycle in which many people find themselves. So when I found out that she would also be at FinCon I knew I had to find a way to have her on the podcast.
In this episode we discuss:
-How taboo the topics of debt and money have become
-More people than you may think are dealing with debt
-Watching what others spend
-Much More!
Here is the article written by Liz Weston that my wife and I were featured in – Are You a Yo-Yo Debtor?
Also Liz mentioned a investigative series that Nerd Wallet was doing on Rent-A-Center, click the link below to read more

Great interview! Liz and I go way back (even *before* our time at MSN Money) and I know that she’s someone who walks her talk. She gives good advice and yet she understands how people get into money trouble in the first place. No shaming — but also no excuses not to work to fix your issues.
Hi Donna! Thank you so much for listening & sharing this episode. I really appreciate it!
Liz’s kindness & compassion can be felt in the way that she discusses money. You can tell that she genuinely wants people to do well & understands that we all make mistakes so there shouldn’t be any shame. It was a pleasure to speak with Liz.
This is a must read! I believe that having a debt is not really something that we have to be ashamed of because it is part of the reality of life. The interview is very informative! I am looking forward for more interview sessions like this. Thanks!
