About the Episode: 

• Today, we’re answering: “We need your help. We are pretty good at budgeting, but it seems like right when we have started to make progress, an unexpected expense blows up our budget - things like a car repair or an insurance bill that is due every six months. Can you help us figure out how to prevent these issues from messing with our financial progress?”  
• In our Current Money Events segment, we’re sharing tips that Joe has learned from budgeting for 200 consecutive months. 
• Our success story comes from Cody, who was able to eliminate a car payment.
