You've probably heard the saying, "It's not about how much money you have, it's how you manage that money." Well, this episode is a perfect example of why that is 100% accurate.

Haley and Justin Brown-Woods from Price Of Avocado Toast Podcast joins A Sunny Side Up Life podcast to talk about their journey into the personal finance space and financial coaching, how their lives have been changed by podcasting and what it takes to work together as a Millennial married couple on money management.

In this episode, we chat about: 

• What Haley and Justin did with a $600K inheritance
• How tracking your money will transform your life
• Why Dave Ramsey got the boot from their lives
• The importance of spending on joy + more

GUEST BIO:

Haley and Justin Brown-Woods are a married millennial couple from California working to help folks normalize conversations about money through their company, Price of Avocado Toast. 

In their early 20's, they received a $600k payout from a wrongful death lawsuit after Justin's grandmother died of mesothelioma. They each grew up in low-income single-mother households and financial education was not a priority. So you could say, they essentially won the lottery. 

They spent every last penny of the $600k and then found themselves in over $220k worth of debt in just 3.5 years. In late 2019, they decided to start their journey to financial freedom and they paid off $132k in 18 months.
