Is all debt bad debt?
Some people say debt is good, especially when you leverage other people’s money to purchase real estate and other cash-flowing assets.
Others say that any type of debt is the worst thing you can have! The thing is, only those who weren’t taught how to respect and utilize debt to their advantage end up getting trapped by it.
Anthony O’Neal grew up with a strong spiritual background and a loving family who taught him about the Christian faith and how to live life following the law.
The problem? They never taught him how to deal with money, debt, and finances.
Before he knew it, at 19 years old, he dropped out of college, with over $25k debt, living in the back of his car. After 6 months of living like this, he said enough is enough and decided to create a life he was excited about.
Today, Anthony is a #1 national bestselling author, speaker, financial expert, and host of the popular YouTube series and podcast The Table with Anthony O’Neal. He’s passionate about reaching people in a real, relatable, and relevant way and helping them get a clear vision for their future so they can win the money game and live a better life.
In this episode of the Rock Your Money Rock Your Life, Anthony and I discuss how he fell into the trap of “free money,” why it was only when he took responsibility for his actions that his life began to change, and how he helps people get through life and college debt-free.
