How Justin & Haley Paid Off $132,000 in Debt as Teachers | Price of Avocado Toast


Listen Later

In this episode of Money Noticias podcast, Sunem and Israel interview Haley and Justin Brown-Woods a married, millennial couple that began their debt free journey in the Fall of 2019.

After blowing through a $600,000 lawsuit payout and racking up over $220,000 worth of debt in three and a half years, Haley and Justin got serious about changing the narrative they had created for their lives. Within 18 months, they had paid off over $132,000 of debt and restarted their wealth journey.

During this period, they began their podcast Price of Avocado Toast. Their focus has been on having open and honest money conversations with others to help remove the stigmas and shame around finances. The hope is that these conversations enlighten the younger versions of themselves and save them from the pitfalls Haley and Justin fell into.

In 2021, Haley began the financial coaching branch of Price of Avocado Toast. She brought Justin onto the team in 2023 and together they have helped clients tackle over $1M of debt. Now their family is working towards generational wealth building and a future of outrageous generosity.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How having open and honest money conversations can help remove stigmas and shame around finances.
  • How paying off debt on teacher salaries requires strategies like selling assets and finding additional sources of income.
  • Why finding a balance between hustle and family is important in maintaining a healthy financial journey.
  • Transitioning out of the classroom can bring mixed emotions, but it can also provide opportunities for personal and financial growth.
