For today's podcast, I welcome Deacon Hayes from Well Kept Wallet who went from over $50,000 in debt, to financial independence and who actually became a financial planner along the way. Deacon paid off his debt in just over a year and a half and became so excited about the process. He studied finance, became a financial planner and founded Well Kept Wallet, advising high net worth clients as a way to share his experience with money and to help others. He wrote the book, 'You can retire early' and has been featured as a personal finance expert by the mainstream media. He joins me today to share his journey to financial independence and to share the money lessons he has learned!
