Don't we all want mo money without mo problems? Today we're talking with personal finance expert Tanja Hester about how value-driven spending and setting a "money mission statement" can help you reach even your biggest financial goals - whether you're saving up for a home in your dream neighborhood, a big renovation, or even early retirement, which Tanja herself has accomplished. She's sharing easy ways to trim your budget, painless ways to put more in the bank, and why she thinks most of us have more financial freedom than we think. Plus, we're discussing a new holiday decorating epiphany that Sherry recently had (oddly enough it was inspired by Halloween and not Christmas) and why you may want to grab an often overlooked painting tool that can save the day. And your back.
