Find Your Money Path

Welcome to the #10DayMoneyReset! Today is day 1 and we're focused on contentment.  The busyness of life and culture can throw us off track as it relates to our relationship with money. The #10DayMoneyReset is meant to help us all evaluate several different areas of that relationship and correct any areas that might have fallen off track in the past year.

We go to the doctor when we're sick and we go to a counselor when we need help navigating emotions or life challenges. It's uncomfortable to step out and show somebody very personal areas of our lives, like finances or our clutter. Often, an outside perspective is what's missing from breaking through and making progress. That's why it's so hard to take that first step and invite someone else in. On today's episode, Amber Blandford, a professional organizer and founder of Joyful Spaces (joyfulspaces.org), and I talk about the value of an outside perspective and how it can help us make the progress we so desperately desire.

We also give a couple of quick things to do in each of those spaces for someone to take the step towards being intentional. Hope you enjoy the episode! Intro music by Jeff Kaale & Andrew Applepie.

I came across this great article by Sarah O'Brien at CNBC - https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/26/picturing-your-future-retirement-could-spur-higher-savings-rate.html. There was a study done that asked one set of respondents to first determine how much to save for retirement and then asked what they wanted to do in retirement. It asked another set of respondents the same questions, but in the opposite order. The results were incredible! Hope that you enjoy this episode! Intro music by Jeff Kaale & Andrew Applepie.

Miscellaneous and Entertainment are the two sections that "extra" money tends to float to when we don't have a plan for it. Having a realistic budget in these areas is key to achieving debt re-payment goals or savings goals. Don't overlook the importance of this area of the budget! Hope that you enjoy the episode!
