Anthony ONeal found himself burdened by over $100,000 in debt, drowning in student loans, credit cards, and lifestyle choices fueled by image and peer pressure. For a while, he believed debt was just a normal part of adulthood—until the weight became too much to carry. In a defining moment, Anthony chose to confront his habits, cut unnecessary spending, and adopt a biblical lifestyle of discipline and contentment. He said no to going out, no to image-driven purchases, and yes to financial peace. Today, he’s debt-free, a best-selling author, and a bold voice teaching others how to escape the same trap through faith and wise stewardship.
