About this listen

I started my financial journey Fall of 2014 when I found myself with only $1.50 to my name, so I understand the frustration around money mismanagement, struggling with where to start, and the courage it takes to take ownership of your finances. Now, I’m a financial coach, speaker, author, and the founder and owner of Mills Knows Bills where I have the opportunity to teach individuals and businesses how to manage and master their money within 90 days. On this podcast, I will teach you how to stop living paycheck to paycheck, how to pay off your debt twice as fast, and how to reach your financial goals. This podcast is meant to make managing your finances accessible.Fair Use Economics Personal Finance
