If you are among the 44% of Americans who want to get rid of debt in 2025, but you are still not sure what the best way to achieve this goal, this week’s HDM episode is for you. Today, Rachel Hart, founder of Budget, Save and Blog will walk us through the radical debt-repayment plan that allowed her to slash $78,000 in credit card debt in only 1.5 years. Shall we dig in?


If you’ve ever tried to set up a truly long-term goal (think at least 3+ years from now), you know that doing this falls perfectly in the proverbial easier-said-than-done category. 


The main problem? Our brains are wired to privilege short term satisfaction over long term success. Getting an instant $20 cash rebate from a $1000 purchase? Yes, please. Receiving thousands of dollars in ROI after 30 years of investing? Honestly, not that enticing (who is willing to wait 10 long years to see the reward coming, if it ever does?).


This is why paying off debt sometimes feels like an impossible quest, especially if the amount of money you have to repay is substantial (to the point where it surpasses by far your current income levels). With such a huge number living in your head all the time, it's easy to feel discouraged, demotivated, and, sometimes, even hopeless. 


But, what if there was a way around this? What if you could build a plan to slash all your debt in record time? What would be the trade-offs? And most importantly, would you be willing to accept them?


Well, this is exactly what we’ll be talking about in this episode. This week we are having a down-to-earth conversation with Rachel Hart, founder of Budget, Save and Blog and host of the Money Moves for Latinas podcast. Back in 2021, Rachel slashed $78,000 in debt in only 1.5 years, a financial feat that must be discussed.

In this episode you will learn: 

  • Rachel’s radical plan, explained.
  • The trade-offs behind an aggressive debt repayment plan.
  • A key piece of (unconventional) advice for those who are in a debt-repayment journey.
