INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Ever feel like your budget is running you instead of the other way around? Today, we’re bringing in Shaun Morgan from The Teacher Money Show and Kristin Wade, budgeting coach at My Budget Coach, to help you flip the script. They’ll share how tracking your expenses is the first (and easiest) step toward financial freedom, why budgeting shouldn’t feel like punishment, and how to make your money work without the guilt.
But wait—there’s more! We’re diving into creative ways to gamify saving, some unexpected solutions for real estate dilemmas (hint: selling isn’t your only option), and why sometimes renting out your home might be the smarter move. And of course, we sprinkle in some personal stories, real-life lessons, and a few side tangents that may or may not include baseball, beer trends, and an ode to Steve Jobs.
