Listen Later

What does frugality mean to you? For Jen Smith, creator of modernfrugality.com, frugality means being a good steward of your resources. It's consciously spending on things you value that give you the freedom to meet your goals.

Jen is on a mission to rebrand the entire concept of frugality, so we can embrace it as a way to serve us. Adopting the practice of intentional spending and no spend challenges helped Jen and husband pay off over $78,000 of debt in 2 years.

Jen started as an acupuncturist, transitioned into a full time writer, and now she is stepping into entrepreneurship. She shares her journey from starting a side hustle to expanding into owning a business. Tune in to this week's episode to hear a different perspective on the F word: Frugality.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • How to use frugality to accelerate your journey to Financial Freedom
  • The balance between increasing your income and spending consciously
  • How to do a no spend challenge
  • How Jen transitioned from being an acupuncturist to a full time writer to an entrepreneur and much more...
