You Reboot Everything Else—Why Not Your Debt?

We restart our phones when they freeze.

We unplug the Wi-Fi when it cuts out.

We reboot our computers without a second thought.

But when our finances lock up?

We stall.

We panic.

We wait—sometimes for years.

And all the while, the stress grows. The shame deepens. The options shrink.

But here’s the truth:

You are allowed to reset your financial life.

You’re allowed to begin again.

In this emotionally powerful episode of The Get Out of Debt Guy podcast, I dive deep into why we resist rebooting our finances—when it’s exactly what so many of us need to do.
