Let's Talk About Finances

The truth is that in order to pay off debt, you would need to cut back on your spending and/or increase your income, all the while making wise financial decisions that would improve rather than damage your credit. It is most likely that your coursework has exposed you to systems theory. If so, you are already aware of the importance of taking into account the various systems, as well as economic and social injustices, that have an impact on your financial decisions, beliefs, feelings, and money practices as well as your future intentions – in other words, what you would like to change or enhance about your financial habits? What types of financial “pivots” do you need to make?
