This 5-star rated podcast was nominated as “Best New Personal Finance Podcast” by Plutus.

Trusted as a personal finance influencer by brands such as Quicken Loans, Tiller and Credit Sesame, Andy’s message of family financial empowerment has resonated with listeners, readers, and viewers across the US.
From a free and easy life to becoming a financial thinker. Andy made a transition when he realized that he will be a daddy soon. Thinking about what to do to protect his daughter and give her a great life, the couple decided to eliminate their debts as quickly as possible and focusing on the big why.
They were being intentional with their money. They work with numbers, find ways to save more, and live for a while with 50% of their income. Along the way, they’ve learned a lot of their money languages, and techniques. They’ve set a time to meet every month to look over with the numbers, review the expenses of the previous month, and plan. And later, he paid off $50,000 of debts in about 12 months, and $350,000 mortgage in less than 5 years.
Having that accountability and clear visions helped them reach their goals while crafting a life that is more defined by family than obligations. The couple is working to avoid their marriage fall apart over finances. Andy gives importance to communication and continues to live a very nice happy life while utilizing that extra money to get their goals for tomorrow.
Focusing a lot of his time on creating the marriage that he really wants, the relationships that both he and his wife want. Trying to create the most epic relationships with his kids and spouse through spending quality time together while controlling his personal finances so that he can have the best family life.
