January resolutions are cute. February is where the real work starts.
In this episode of The Get Out of Debt Guy, Steve Rhode (the old, original Get Out of Debt Guy) and Damon Day(the new Get Out of Debt Guy) talk about how to restart your debt plan on February 5th—without guilt, shame, or fake “perfect budget” nonsense.
They break down why people stall (hint: it’s emotion, not math) and why financial literacy classes don’t fix debt behavior unless you understand your money personality and how your subconscious drives spending decisions.
Then they pivot to the ugly reality: scams are everywhere—IRS and “TurboTax” tax scams, Amazon-style texts, gift card scams, crypto scams, and even debt consolidation traps that leave you deeper in debt. With consumer protections weakening, the message is simple: nobody is coming to save you—so you have to become your own financial watchdog.
