"You cannot manage your money if you're not measuring it." - Anthony O'Neal

Financial expert Anthony O'Neal shares his powerful step-by-step approach to breaking free from debt and creating financial freedom. Rather than jumping straight into budgeting, he emphasizes beginning with vision-casting—defining where you want to be in 1, 3, and 5 years—followed by establishing a deeply emotional "why" that will sustain you through challenges. O'Neal's practical method includes detailed analysis of spending patterns (using his innovative color-coded highlighting system for bank statements) and creating a zero-based budget that aligns your money with your vision.

Beyond traditional debt-reduction advice, O'Neal offers refreshing insights on generating additional income through leveraging existing skills and knowledge. He shares the inspiring story of a schoolteacher who transformed her expertise into a lucrative side business preparing students for SATs, eventually outearning her teaching salary. This approach not only created financial breathing room but restored her sense of purpose and control—turning "having to work" into "wanting to work," and placing her firmly at the head of her own financial table.
