Because of that, I started a website for current teachers who are looking to leave and not sure where to star. Reach out if you ever want to talk. Make sure to connect on LinkedIn as well.

Debt-Free Supporter

One of my biggest accomplishments is My Journey to Becoming Debt-Free. I would be more than happy and willing to help anyone who is interested in doing the same, BUT you have to be willing to change your lifestyle.

A few key things are:

  • You have to be willing to cut back on things
  • You can't live beyond your means or keep up with the Jones'
  • It is a mindset shift that has to happen for it to work
