First up, a call from Matt in Lansing, Michigan, who needed help saving his remodeling business after racking up $260,000 in debt. Let's take a listen. So I am 24 years old. I own a remodeling business doing about $750,000 a year with six full-time employees. But I have $260,000 in super crappy debt.

And I don't have enough cash to get the projects done that we've got on the schedule right now that we've taken deposits for. So I'm trying to figure out a way to to kind of get out of this without filing bankruptcy or or taking on more debt just to just to survive. Okay, so um wow. Have you been losing money on these projects?
