We interviewed Greg to find out about his journey and how life\u2019s been since graduating from Beyond Finance in October of 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  • Debt Amount: $44,099<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Started: May 2022<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Graduated: October 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Can you tell us a bit about yourself?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I live in Abilene, Texas and I\u2019m 63 years old and semi-retired \u2014 I say that, because I still work for a few hours a month! I have a background in municipal government, in public works. I\u2019ve got two grown boys that live in Michigan and I\u2019m dating on and off. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What led you to reach out to Beyond Finance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I went through a divorce and at the end of the day, and I got left with the credit card debt my ex had racked up. Within two months of all that, I was financially crippled.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I was beyond stressed \u2014 no pun intended!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    It\u2019s simple \u201cquality of life\u201d things, is what it is. It afforded me the ability to walk away from having to work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    I had a couple of calls before I went forward with Beyond Finance. Those calls went really well. The lady that I spoke to \u2014 she was really good. I felt a huge amount of relief. I was actually sort of energized.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What was your experience with us like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After I paid off the first debt, it was amazing because it was such a relief.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I can’t say enough about you guys. You were really good to me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How has your life changed since graduation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


    I mean, I’m happier. It\u2019s simple \u201cquality of life\u201d things, is what it is. It afforded me the ability to walk away from having to work. And my financial monthly cash flow is much better. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    I mean, there were things I just pushed away \u2014 I used to golf a lot and now I am picking that game back up and I’m enjoying it, you know? All the projects and all the little things around my house that I just put off \u2014 now I can do them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I got myself a small dog and that’s given me a lot of joy!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    I\u2019m able to travel a little bit more \u2014 in fact, next week I\u2019m going down to Port Arthur, then I\u2019m going to go and visit another friend. We\u2019re going to jump over to Mexico for a couple of days.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I mean, “lessons learned,” is the way I look at it. I\u2019m never going to let myself get into credit card debt again. I\u2019ve got four credit cards right now and I pay them off every month!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Real client compensated for a real story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
