EPISODE 29 - A Financial Vise (Yvonne and David)

Between raising two children and caring for elderly parents, Yvonne and David were struggling with a debt load of over $35,000. Alison put them on a plan to rescue them from risking their family ties and their children's futures.

Alison's recommendations:

  • Cut back on spending, on everything, from cash withdrawals to tutoring
  • Target debt and increase payments on high interest borrowing
  • Redirect retirement savings into education funds for kids
  • Yvonne must make at least $800 more a month
  • Join a support group for caregivers to help deal with the pressure
