Getting Into & Paying off Over $27K of Credit Card Debt with Chris Browning of Popcorn Finance

This one is a long time in the making, but we are delighted to have Chris Browning from the Popcorn Finance podcast on the show! Chris has a lot of great insight when it comes to personal finance and becoming debt free, and we admire him even more for sharing with us how he and his wife paid off $27K of credit card debt! We talk a lot about paying off student loan debt on the show, so we're excited to bring some hope to our fellow frugal friends who are facing this sort of debt and provide hope for freedom through hearing Chris' story!
