I made $15,000 this month (credit card update, sponsors, dealing with debt collectors)

Описание: This month, our debt journey took another big leap. We made $15,563.61 in March and paid off $6,563.38 on a credit card. No fluff, no flex — just real numbers, long nights, and lots of prayer.

In this episode of our debt recovery series, we break down exactly how we made our income as a full-time filmmaker + content creator. You’ll hear the real talk on YouTube revenue, commercial directing, rentals, odd jobs, and even dealing with debt collectors.

This isn’t a tutorial. This is our life. And we’re grateful you’re here to walk through it with us.
