Paying Off $1,000,000 of Debt with Naseema McElroy (Financially Intentional)

Today we are talking with Naseema McElroy.

Naseema was making six figures for years as a Labor and Delivery Nurse but still found herself struggling with money.

Finally realizing she couldn’t out-earn her financial ignorance, she knew she had to make some changes.

By shifting her mindset around money, being consistent and intentional, she paid off $1 million in debt and grew a six figure net worth in three years.

Today Naseema is the founder of Financially Intentional, where she discusses how taking control of her finances has enabled her to overcome bankruptcy, divorce, and break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck.
