About Haley and Justin

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 $130,000 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
