In the latest episode of Pocket Change podcast, hosts Shea and Carrie celebrate the show's second anniversary by diving into practical ways to make your money goals stick in 2025.
The episode kicks off with a candid discussion about the top five New Year's resolutions people commonly abandon: fitness goals, quitting bad habits, learning new skills, dietary changes, and – you guessed it – saving money.
