Have any of your beliefs or thoughts about money changed over time? Maybe you used to think that only people who struggle with money should write a budget, but now you realize that budgeting isn’t reserved for those living paycheck to paycheck. I’ve found that as you grow and work on your finances, your ideas and thoughts will likely change over time. In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing 3 ways my beliefs about money have changed over the last decade.  My hope is that this podcast episode will help you reflect on your own views of money, give yourself credit for what you’ve accomplished, and remind you that it’s okay to pivot in the process.
