Are you single and looking to date?

How do you manage your budget and expenses while trying to put yourself out there to find a new friend, a new relationship, a new romance?

On this week's epsidoe, Shawn & George talk about your budget and dating (whether single or dates with your spouse). Some do's and dont's:

• DO budget
• DON'T fake what you cannot afford
• DO be upfront about your money, your budget and your money goals
• DON'T loan someone money (regardless of how much you love them)
• DO take "budget friendly" dates
• DON'T ignore their red flags when it comes to money

Remember, not only does dating require the cost of the date itself, but there are other expenses - like the cost of the dating apps, if you choose that route. There's also the question of when you bring up money - the first date? second? first month? first year?

How does a single mom, with a minor child, recover from overwhelming debt?

Does more income, and multiple businesses solve financial problems?

On this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George talk to Shannon Miller-Lutz, the founder of SML Coaching, who empowers individuals to shift their mindset, overcome obstacles, and take bold action toward success. Known for her natural ability to coach, mentor, and be the “big sister” everyone needs, she combines real-world experience with deep personal development insights.

Shannon found herself contemplating the legacy she wanted to leave behind. After building a successful, award-winning real estate business, she experienced burnout and felt a deep yearning for something more meaningful. But her journey wasn’t always smooth—Shannon has started multiple businesses, faced deep financial struggles, and even filed for bankruptcy. Listen to her story of struggle, sacrifice, and ultimately redemption, from a financial, emotional, health and spiritual perspective.
