Episode 271: Marcus Garrett, author of DEBT Free or Die Trying, talks about how to make a plan and set up a system to pay off debt.

Guest Biography

After surviving the mean streets of the inner suburbs in the Great State of Texas, Mr. Garrett obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and work experience as a Certified Internal Auditor, Financial and Data Analyst. As a Senior Millennial, his inflated self-esteem was amplified with participation trophies given to him without merit during his most impressionable years. Somehow he overcame these personal roadblocks to become an award-winning freelance writer on topics ranging from love and relationships to debt and personal finances.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Money mistakes that Marcus made that got him $30k in debt
  • How to make a plan and set up a system to pay off debt
  • The 50/30/20 approach to budgeting
