How one woman paid off $187,000 of debt in two years

<p><strong>Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s how one woman went from deeply in debt, to being rich enough to buy into a castle in Italy. Hosted by Frances Cook.</strong></p> <p>Sometimes you need a shock in order to make a change, and today’s guest certainly had one of those in the past.</p> <p>She’d known she wasn’t doing well with money, but when she decided to face it head on, and add up how much she owed, she realised with horror that it was $187,000.</p> <p>Not only did she manage to pay that off, but she’s since gone on to create her own business, and become pretty wealthy.</p> <p>For the latest podcast I talked to Australian business mentor and author Simone Milasas.</p> <p>If you have a question about this podcast, or a question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.</p> <p>I'm on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FrancesCookNZ/">Facebook here</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/francescooknz/">Instagram her</a>e, and <a href="https://twitter.com/FrancesCook">Twitter here</a>.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
