HOW TO PAY OFF MASSIVE DEBT: Featuring Wendy and Curtis Mays from House of FI

Wendy and Curtis Mays from Hou$e Of Fi are on the show today. They’re a married duo whose mission is to help your family pay off debt, budget better, save more money and increase your income. Wendy is a retired lawyer and Curtis is a high school teacher and Football Coach. Their journey into the personal finance space started back in 2008-2009 during The Great Recession, when they lost 2 homes. Along their personal finance journey, they’ve also overcome a period of time where they were drowning in six-figure college loan debt, consumer debt and living paycheck to paycheck, all while making six figures in income! This didn’t add up and they knew something had to change. Wendy and Curtis were scared for their financial future and worried about not being able to help their kids with college. Since 2016 they’ve gotten rid of over 650K of debt. At House Of FI they share their money story, open up their toolbox and share their tools so that you can embark on your own financial independence journey and live a joy-filled life.   Wendy and Curtis offer a FREE course called “7-Step Money Foundations” aimed at educating people about their personal finances. They also host the House Of FI podcast where they interview experts in the personal finance space and discuss topics such as: F.I.R.E, marriage and money, budgeting, investing, side-hustles, debt payment plans, strategies for paying off student loans and other relative money topics. In today’s episode you’ll hear Wendy and Curtis’s money story, their money roles in their relationship, how they budget and prep for the future with six kids, and the steps they took to get out of debt.   What To Listen For  Why married couples must determine what kind of lifestyle they want to live The cost of having flighty dreams Sacrificing things in the short term, to achieve long term goals How income and gender roles can affect your marriage – Who is the “breadwinner”? Trying to shakeoff living with a crisis mindset after a traumatic money event has taken place The importance of additional income streams Why you need a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C for your money and career How Wendy and Curtis learned from losing 2 homes in The Great Recession How to discuss money, budgeting and investing with reluctant spouses – Accepting them where they are in their money journey The financial impact of having a big family The importance of leaving a legacy for your children Dealing with lifestyle creep The debt-avalanche vs. debt-snowball payment methods    Key Takeaway: Learn from your financial mistakes and plan for your future. Get educated about what you can do to budget better, pay off debt and increase your income through side-hustling.

Financial Independence and Family ft. Wendy & Curtis Mays - PB166

Episode 32 So many times we get asked, "how did you get your spouse on board with FI?"  Finances are one of those areas where a couple should really be on the same page.  But it's hard enough to get on the same page about finances, but to then agree on such a radical concept as FI.  In this episode, Curtis discusses the evolution of his "FI" epiphany and how he transformed from a Reluctant Spouse to being "on FIRE" about FI.  He discusses how he watched his mom struggle as a single mom when he was growing up and not really ever having more than enough to put more than a roof over their head and foot on the table.  In college, after he and Wendy met, he still didn't have any real knowledge of money. But he knew how to work and to be a provider and for many years - he simply accepted that was his role.  Struggle was a common occurrence during the early years of their marriage and he and Wendy had many years of ups and downs after that.  So, when Wendy came to him several years ago he, at first, just thought this was another one of her crazy plans.  But it wasn't.  It took a while, but after Curtis decided to listen to a podcast on his own, he began to understand.  Along the way, there were a few other moments for Curtis where things began to click for him. He was inspired after meeting JL Collins in Greece for Chautauqua last year. It was an incredible time being surrounded by others who all were on the same path.  Listen in to see how Curtis finally came around and is now 100% on board with the plan to achieve Financial Independence by age 55.    Mentioned in this episode:  Choose Fi - Pillars of FI  JL Collins -  The Simple Path to Wealth  Christy and Bryce - Millennial Revolution Alan and Katie Donegan - Pop-Up Business School
