LIVE SHOW FRIDAY SEPT. 8TH
We welcome back to the studio Gary Sussman, CFP® from Trilogy Financial Services.
We talk to Gary about sky high credit card rates and how to get outta debt!!!
Some of Gary’s tips include:
1.) See if you qualify for a zero-rate balance transfer deal and also call your credit card company about lowering the rates.
2.) Get a side gig. Take on a part-time job, or some gig work with the single goal of making enough to pay off your credit card bill.
3.) Sell something, maybe the second car. Use this to pay off debt.
4.) Create a plan and a budget!
We then welcomed back to the studio, Tonya Mantooth, CEO & Artistic Director for the San Diego International Film Festival.
Tonya gives us the scoop on the 22nd Annual Festival and what you can expect!
