[Ep. 69] Why David from Texas Advocates a Cash-only Lifestyle

After listening to my Listener Series episode with Amanda from Ottawa, David from Texas answered my call out to be on my podcast, and I’m so glad he did. I feel like his story is so relatable, and yet I don’t think I’ve ever interviewed anyone who paid off $40,000 in debt in only 14 months, then stuck to a cash-only diet for good after that.

I’m serious in that after listening to our conversation again, I kind of want to try to live off cash only for a month or two to see how much spending and savings are affected. I do try to use debit for all my day-to-day spending, but I do lean on my credit cards from time to time.

I hope you find this episode as inspiring as I did, but since David has so many good soundbites, I’ve included a few gems below. Thanks again David for joining me on the podcast, and I mean it, you should start your own. Your voice and charm are gold!
