Episode 220 talks about how to recover from money mistakes, featuring Haley & Justin Brown-Woods. Listen now!
Haley and Justin Brown-Woods are a married, millennial couple that began their debt-free journey in the Fall of 2019. After blowing through a $600,000 lawsuit payout and racking up over $220,000 worth of debt in 3½ years, they got serious about changing the narrative they had created for their lives. Within 18 months, they had paid off over $130,000 of debt and restarted their wealth journey.
During this period, they began their podcast Price of Avocado Toast. Their focus has been on having open and honest money conversations with others to help remove the stigmas and shame around finances. The hope is that these conversations enlighten the younger versions of themselves and save them from the pitfalls Haley and Justin fell into.
Now, over 100,000+ downloads later, Haley is a successful financial coach who has helped her clients pay off over $600k of debt. Justin is a public school educator, and their family is working towards generational wealth building and a future of outrageous generosity.
