Good, good.
It's really great to be here.
Thank you for having me on.
So my name is Erin Thompson.
I call myself a financial freedom architect because I have an engineering background, and I'm all about designing and building the life that you want.
And
planning out all the steps that it takes to get there and helping to coach people, not only to put the plan in place, but then working the plan so that they can get there themselves.
So the biggest thing that I can say about monthly finances and getting yourself out of debt is that it's not knowing the right things to do necessarily.
It's your habits, honestly.
And that really was what got us into trouble the second time.
But to kind of back it up, I graduated from college right before that big recession in 2008.
So I was out on my own trying to figure out how do I do this adult money stuff like what should I be doing with my money.
And oh, by the way, here's a huge recession that's coming and like, ah, what does that mean for my money and student loans and all of that right so as an engineer I had like $100,000 in student loan debt when I graduated so
That wasn't nothing, right?
And I did have a couple of credit cards.
My husband, at that time, we were just dating, but we ended up getting married.
And he also had a little bit of credit card debt and lots of student loans.
We met at engineering college.
So just pile on the student debt.
But we had a plan and we worked the plan and got ourselves out of all of our credit card debt.
