The path between living on maxed-out credit cards with financed eyelashes to having a no-spend-year is a bumpy one. The mindset work that is required to make this drastic change is definitely not for the faint of heart, but women like Ashley Ahmad are proof that it can be done.

Ashley from @ashsavingcash is sharing the ins and outs of her journey to becoming debt-free as a young nurse right out of college. She’s sharing what led to her rock-bottom money moment, how her mental health also went on a downward spiral as a result, and how she hustled her way back out of survival mode.

IN THIS EPISODE, SAMI + ASHLEY SHARE ABOUT:

• All about Ashley’s upbringing, post-college years, and nursing career

• Her rock-bottom money moments and the scary mental effects

• What led her to do a no-spend-year and her takeaways

• How to do a no-spend challenge (needs vs. wants)

• The idea behind a reverse budget

• Where she’s at now in her journey and what the future holds
