EPISODE 24 - Financial Face-Off (Krystal)

Krystal says she would love to attend law school. But, right now she's studying for a PhD in procrastination. She's got 50k worth of debt and she's paralyzed by it. She's not keeping up with her bills and, what's worse is, she's relying on handouts from Dad to keep her afloat. Looking through Krystal's financial statements was like swimming through mud. She was suffocating in debt; I wanted her to stop putting her payments off and start paying back.

Alison's recommendations:

  • Cut back on clothing, entertainment and take-out food
  • Make a round of apologies, specifically to her landlord, her kids' daycare and especially her father
  • End the denial and calculate her total debt
