The Debt Free Teacher

<p> Welcome to another season of the podcast! If you are listening to this during the summer, I hope your break is going well.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> However, for some of us, a summer break may not be a true break.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Some teachers, like myself, use this time of year to bring in extra money.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p> Many teachers are doing a variety of side hustles like tutoring, in person/online classes, food delivery, or pet sitting.

For many people the answer is yes.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p> For many, getting out of debt is one of the best things you can do for your financial well-being. It can reduce your stress, improve your financial security, and provide you with more financial freedom. Beyond that, it just makes life a lot easier — and some might say more fun.</p> <p> The teaching profession is difficult enough to manage with all the various stresses we encounter everyday. Financial stress can add to that. The last thing we need is to live a life borrowing money, living paycheck to paycheck, and having debt collectors reach us at work.</p> <p>So for this mid season episode, we are talking about the journey to becoming a debt free teacher.
