  • The Real Reason You're Stuck in Debt (It's Not Math)

    The Real Reason You're Stuck in Debt (It's Not Math)
    2026/03/12
    Originally recorded on The Legacy Investor Podcast hosted by Cameron Philgreen. In this powerful conversation, Cameron sits down with Joey Ruffalo — financial coach, best-selling author, and founder of The Prosperity Lounge — to discuss the real journey from financial chaos to clarity. Joey shares the deeply personal story of how he and his wife found themselves buried under $370,000 in debt, what rock bottom truly looked like, and the mindset shifts that helped them eliminate that debt in just a few years. This conversation goes far beyond budgeting. Joey and Cameron explore the emotional and spiritual side of money — including ego, faith, relationships, and stewardship — and how these often shape our financial decisions more than math ever does. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by debt, stuck living paycheck to paycheck, or unsure how to align your finances with your values, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. This episode is especially for those who believe that financial freedom isn’t just about numbers — it’s about purpose, stewardship, and living intentionally.
