There are debt-free stories, and then there’s the story of Freddie and Sahirenys. This couple was not only able to clear $90,000+ in debt but also saved enough money to leave their jobs, start a business, get married, and raise two kids.
On top of that, Sahirenys and Freddie did this in 5 years.
Freddie shares how he confronted and crushed his student loan debt (with Sahirenys’ help) and how he leveraged his skills as a graphic and product designer into his own successful business and financial legacy for his family.
Sahirenys shares why she was so passionate about removing debt out of her family’s life, what the Recession taught her about debt, and how she is leveraging her skills in personal finance to change how families (especially families of color) are learning financial empowerment.
