• Episode 503:Money & Ego

  Why is "we never fight about money" an unhealthy sign to a relationship?

  Can you overcome your ego to ask for help?

  This week's guest on the Crushing Debt Podcast is TJ Recinella, a financial coach, speaker, and the founder of TJR Financial Coaching, where he helps individuals and couples dream big and live free by moving from financial stress and confusion to clarity, confidence, and long-term freedom.

  You can contact TJ at TJRFinancialcoaching@yahoo.com.

  TJ 's passion for coaching is deeply personal. Early in his marriage, he and his wife, Christy, experienced a life-altering family tragedy that forced them to confront grief, responsibility, and major financial decisions all at once. Guided by his personal and professional experiences, TJ and his wife eliminated over $300,000 in debt, fully funded their children's education, and built a values-based financial plan rooted in preparation, margin, giving, and intentional living. Today, TJ walks alongside clients as a coach and accountability partner, helping them challenge cultural money myths, prepare for life's uncertainties, and use money as a tool to support what matters most. We talk about how TJ got into debt, how he got out of debt, and his motivation for doing so. We also talk about how to have difficult money conversations with your spouse, without ego getting in the way.
