Today's episode is all about money. Have you ever considered what your relationship is with money? Is it stable? Are you confident in your choices? Or do you wing it and hope for the best? Each of us have our unique experiences and situations but there are common things we can do to ensure we aware and intentional in managing our money no matter your income.
I share my own experience with money, debt, credit cards and saving money. While I haven't always gotten it 100% right I have used a personal budgeting system for years to ensure I am aware of my expenses and income. My super simple check in each time I get paid keeps my priorities straight and helps me be realistic with my expectations of myself.
Credit cards aren't for everyone but if you can treat them right they will deliver great rewards. Credit cards can also lead to temptation and create significant and unmanageable debt which we talk about as well.
No matter where you are in your financial journey, saving cash for rainy days or big purchases takes planning. If you're saving money for the first time start with a small goal.
I also have one savings I never mentioned, the coin jar! I always raided my dad's growing up when you only needed a $1 or so for a snack at Pizza Pizza or McDonalds. Frankly these days with decreasing use of cash this might not work as well but there have been times where I've dumped out $60 or so.
I share all this in hopes to encourage conversations about money and its ok to admit you have no idea what you're doing!
