Hosting Today: I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday. After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business. Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances. “You've got to prioritize it if you want to pay off debt. It has to be a priority. It can't be just the last thing because, guess what, there won't be anything left if you just send what's left at the end of the month. I promise you, things will come up, things will happen, and if you see that money sitting there in your account, and if you're not really, really committed and intentional with what you've got sitting there, it will go to something else.” - Ashley Patrick Struggling to budget?
