The last entry in the Rhian's Hope Financial Health Series, for now, comes from another childhood friend. Jodel grew up down the street from me and is a pediatric nurse in Texas. After missing the deadline for academic scholarships at the University of Texas Arlington, Jodel racked up all the student loans but worked to pay them off as a personal, petty challenge. 

We talk career choice [nursing was a backup plan], budgeting [he's a Dave Ramsey fan, too], when to pay off credit cards to build your credit score [not as soon as you make that big purchase], and his views on retirement [401K ain't it].

The journey to financial well-being doesn't end here, keep working, and more conversations are coming.
