In this January 2022 episode of the How To Money podcast, hosts Matt Altmix and Joel Laarsgard talk to financial counselor Kumiko Love about her journey from student debt to financial independence.

Finding the balance between living in the moment and having a retirement fund often seems unattainable when we're faced with student loans, mortgages, and increasing daily expenses.

On top of misunderstanding our taxes and bank statements, most of us are still really uncomfortable talking about money.

Luckily, How to Money podcast hosts Matt Altmix and Joel Larsgaard are passionate about discussing all things finance — from living on a budget to investing to debt payoff.

In this episode from January 2022, Altmix and Larsgaard talk to financial counselor Kumiko Love about her journey from credit card debts to full financial independence as a single mom.

As the author of My Money, My Way and the Budget Mom blog, Love explains how understanding our emotions and creating a personal financial plan can help us regain control over our finances.
