Ryan is a 26-year-old handyman from New York who is buried in $173,000 of debt. Ryan has dreams of being an entrepreneur, but the obstacles in his personal life have not made it easy. After a rough breakup last year, he now lives with his mother, who is battling stage 3 breast cancer. Together, they are in a home that is facing foreclosure, which is Ryan’s biggest stressor. While he considers himself good with money, he has taken out massive loans to buy two cars, a truck, a motorcycle, the gas, and upkeep of which eat up half his income every month! He has no savings and more debt than he knows what to do with. Now, Ryan is getting a chance to climb out of his debt with help from the Going From Broke team.
