Unpublished endorsement

“Cindy Zuniga-Sanchez has such a gift for teaching and her straightforward guidance makes it easy for anyone pursuing financial freedom to start (or keep going)! This book is a great companion to get you through the bumps along the road so you can reach financial freedom with ease and confidence.” —JEN HEMPHILL, AFC®, host of Her Dinero Matters podcast “Too much personal finance advice is unclear, irrelevant, and outmoded. Thank the money gods for giving us Cindy Zuniga-Sanchez, who shares her personal success story in support of an even grander mission: to materially change the lives of hardworking people who’ve long been left out of these important conversations about building wealth.” —AMANDA HOLDEN, Founder, Invested Development “In Overcoming Debt, Achieving Financial Freedom, Cindy Zuniga-Sanchez confronts the reality of a changing American Dream—one that isn’t defined by a specific salary, job title or milestone, but by the flexibility, autonomy and options to spend our time, money, and energy in whatever ways align with our own personal priorities. With empathy, understanding and a clear step-by-step action plan, Cindy empowers readers to overcome common barriers, like student loans and credit card debt, to achieve that financial freedom on their own terms.” —STEFANIE O’CONNELL RODRIGUEZ, Host, REAL SIMPLE Magazine’s Money Confidential podcast “I’m a first gen Latina, and last Christmas my cousin asked me ‘Do you know Cindy from Zero-Based Budget? She’s a huge inspiration to me, as a Latina lawyer.’ Cindy has written a book that my cousin and so many other Latinas need and want; it’s a toolkit and representation all in one.” —KARA PEREZ, Founder, Bravely Go "Cindy's powerful story and uniquely accessible way of talking about finance makes her the perfect teacher for anyone looking to transform their relationship with money, especially coming from being in debt. This book is practical, easy to understand, and takes the reader through the full process of building a healthy relationship to money without ever feeling overwhelming. I love Cindy's work!" —CHELSEA FAGAN, Founder & CEO, The Financial Diet
