Talking about myself included is the financial mistakes that we make and how we got into the financial mess that we occasionally find ourselves in. So in today\'s episode, a quick money Mondays, I\'m going to do the very difficult task of explaining how I got into debt. This is something that a few of you have been asking in the comment section. How do I run a property channel and end up finding myself in a situation where I am now currently in debt? What happened? How did I end up in this situation? Yeah. So we\'re going to talk about that because this year I will be focused on getting myself out of this, getting myself in a strong financial position, strong financial position to go ahead and invest. But it all starts with the mistakes that we make in the situation that we find ourselves in.\\n\\n\\n\\nWhen I did the free strategy session with Ben Everingham, one of the things that we\'ve talked about is where you at now, it\'s really important to assess your current financial situation, which I have done. Um, and that\'s something that you guys will do if you go through a free strategy session. If you\'re looking to invest, you look at exactly where you now and you have to then assess the mistakes that you made in the past and the fact that you\'re not where you want to be. If you want to get a free strategy session to help you move towards financial freedom, got on property dot. Come to you and you can read more about it over there or I\'ll link out to the strategy session that Ben did with me, uh, down below. So without further ado, how did I get into debt? So to start us off by the age of 28, which is about three years ago now, I achieved what I call pseudo financial freedom.\\n\\n\\n\\nNow I\'ve actually always called it that. I\'ve never called myself financially free. I call myself sooner.'
