Introduction:
Today is brought to you by You Need a Budget, or YNAB for short. YNAB is the perfect money resource for those of us who don’t have time to keep track of it all. It pulls all of your transactions from your bank accounts – credit, debit and checking accounts and assigns them to the categories of your choosing.
Why do you even care? Because knowing is the first step to creating wealth.
I have been using YNAB for years and so have my children. We all love it. Plus, their customer support and how-to videos are amazing.
Check out YNAB. Your future self will thank you.
Real Talk About Money
I think it’s time for some real talk. Some ‘if you were sitting across from me’ girl talk. I am going to dump some truths on you today that I normally pussy foot around. Truths that are cloaked in ‘I would like to suggest’ or ‘maybe it’s time’.
Only right now I am moving from suggestions to ‘oh my gosh girl…what are you waiting for’ truths.
What am I talking about? I am talking about money. Not budgets or spending habits but money. Real money. Money that you have and money you wish you have. So hang on – here we go!
In this episode I chat about:
- All the ladies I met who were living below the poverty line after a divorce or becoming a widow.
- How those shoes you are buying, your Target runs, and new sofa will not put help you when you are older like me and want to retire.
- It’s time to pay attention to your money now…before it’s too late.
- I ask you the same questions I asked my ladies when I was a budget counselor.
- How you need to KNOW where your money is going, if it’s invested and with who, how much is being saved, how much is being set aside for retirement.
- It’s time to stop making excuses for your lack of financial interest.
And so much more.
