In this episode, one woman shows us the cautionary tale of not staying on top of your debt payoff scheduling — because no one will ever care about your money situation more than you.

And while managing money is a crucial life skill for everyone, there's no one "right way" to go about it — you have to figure out what works best for *you,* full stop.

Through weekly video essays, "Making It Work" showcases how *real* people have upgraded their personal or financial lives in some meaningful way.
