They Told Me Not to Invest Until I Was Debt-Free…They Were Wrong

If you've ever asked yourself, "Should I pay off debt before I start investing?" — this episode is for you. Shannon breaks down the toxic myth that you must be 100% debt-free before you're "allowed" to build wealth. Spoiler: waiting to invest is costing you time, growth, and real money. Inside this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why high earners stay stuck in debt longer than they should ✅ How Shannon paid off six figures of debt and grew a 7-figure retirement account ✅ Which debts to prioritize (and which to ignore for now) ✅ Why contributing to your 401(k) match is non-negotiable ✅ How to redirect debt payments into investing without feeling deprived Whether you've got student loans, credit cards, or just a fear of doing it wrong—this episode gives you the plan and permission to do both. 🎧 Listen now and start building wealth without waiting on debt freedom. 📩 Got questions you're embarrassed to ask?
