1760: How to Crush $50K in Debt *While* Saving For Your Future

Today's episode of So Money is a full-circle moment. I’m thrilled to welcome Jodi Smith, the creator of the blog Abundance of Jo and a rising star in the personal finance world. But before she became a go-to resource for money advice, she was just like so many of you—Googling 'personal finance help' and landing on So Money.

Jodi’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From moving to Canada for her MBA, taking on and paying off $50,000 in debt in just six years, to creating a financial plan that balances debt repayment, saving, and even treating herself, she has been organized and intentional every step. Along the way, she turned her financial wins into a platform to help others.

In our conversation, Jodi shares how she found motivation through the podcast nearly a decade ago, the strategies she used to climb out of debt while building wealth, and how her blog empowers people worldwide to live their best financial lives. We also dive into her philosophy on making money, negotiation tips, and why compassion is key to personal finance education.
