Buy What You Love Without Going Broke | Jen Smith


Listen Later

One of the questions we get asked most often is for guidance on what someone should and should not spend money on.

The answer is always… it depends.

What’s important to me, may not be important to you.

Jen Smith is here to give everyone the framework to make those tough decisions.

This framework is called Value Based spending.

Jen lays it all out in her new book, “Buy What You Love Without Going Broke“.

Long-term listeners may remember Jen from episode 58, “Frugality without Deprivation,” in 2019.

She’s also still rocking things over at the Frugal Friends Podcast.

In today’s episode as we discuss the book you’ll find answers to the following:

  • Why is it so hard to stop spending money?
  • What is values-based spending and how is it different?
  • What’s the problem with telling someone a budget will solve their spending problem?
  • What’s the point of learning values-based spending when the bigger issue is that we don’t earn enough money?
  • And so much more.
