The Money Gains Podcast - EP02 - Debt Free Guys
Today’s podcast guests are John & David from Debt Free Guys.
John and David built a lifestyle business together after coming back from over $51,000 in credit card debt.Â
We openly talk about how they were living beyond their means, spending thousands a month to upkeep a lifestyle that was all about instant gratification.
After realising the position they had got themselves in after a stunning holiday in the mountains, they began tackling their debt.Â
Today they teach others how to manage their finances and host their own podcast, the Queer Money Podcast.
This chat was a lot of fun, and I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from them both.
Who are David and John?
With their writing and speaking for Debt Free Guys and The Queer Money podcast, David & John Auten-Schneider help queer people (and allies) live fabulously, not fabulously broke.
As certified LGBTBEs, they are the queer voice in both personal and business finances.
David and John’s work has appeared on Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, NBC’s Squawk Box and Good Morning America, to name a few.
They’ve partnered with some of the best in financial services, including Capital One, Experian, MassMutual, American Express, and Prudential.
Their goal is to connect LGBTQ+ people with the information and tool they need to reach financial security.
Show Notes
I loved this show. Chating with David and John was incredible.Â
Their story is not only fun but they both come from very different upbringings and found each other along the way.Â
Our discussion goes into the psychology behind debt, spending and the facade people create by trying to keep up with the Jones’s.Â
We discuss how not only a change in lifestyle is required but most of it is down to the habits you’ve created and finding a way to break the bad ones.Â
Often people need a jolt or as they describe an ‘A Ha’ moment when they come to a realisation or indeed hit rock bottom.Â
Once you get there people like David and John exist to give you all of the tools you need to get out of debt and put yourself on a path to prosperity.Â
David and John now have a successful business and sizeable stock portfolio which they are continually growing.
I hope you enjoy listening to this one as they are fantastic!Â
