In this episode, I talk to Catherine MacLean from the personal finance blog Plunged in Debt. From the name of her blog, you can guess what its focus is on. Catherine and her husband have a huge amount of debt to pay off, and it hasn’t been easy. On top of that, they are a young family with a 3-year-old daughter to provide for.

Fortunately, Catherine is one financially savvy lady and writes about all the different ways she’s found to cut back and save on the little things. If you’re in debt and need some motivation to stick to your budget and kick your debt to the curb, you definitely need to check out Catherine’s blog (and listen to our podcast episode).

In our conversation, Catherine and I mentioned a few of her most notable blog posts, so here they are below for you to check out. I’ve also given some shout-outs to some iTunes reviewers, so check below to see if one of them is you!

Blog Posts Catherine Mentioned

  • How I Dress My Kid on a Budget
  • Would You Marry Someone With A Lot of Debt?
