Episode #2 - Laying the Foundation: Part 2

"You have to take a step back, focus on what you can control and what you can control is your own household, and what you do there.” - Mike Zung, CFP® of Java Wealth Planning

In episode 2, this is Part 2 of the Laying the Foundation series to kick off Personal Financial from the Hill-Top. 

Mike Zung, CFP®, from Java Wealth Planning, and I discuss why getting out of debt is crucial to your building wealth and a foundational principle for building your personal financial plan. We share first hand experiences, how to do it, and even have a little fun along the way.
