Podcast 51

Meet Racheal. She is a true role model when it comes to financial resiliency. Her reality was many people’s worst nightmare: $124,000 of credit card debt following her divorce. Racheal worked with GreenPath to pay off what she owed, enduring Hurrican Ida and a pandemic along the way.

As she made progress toward being debt-free, she set aside funds to buy a home for her and her son. Today, she is putting her son through college and has created a structure to pay off her mortgage in seven years! In her professional life, she works for one of GreenPath’s credit union partners, empowering members to tackle their financial challenges even when the odds feel insurmountable.
