Creative Ways to Save Money Without Feeling Deprived with Roxanne Duckels of FinanceRox | 105
Saving money doesn't have to feel like punishment. In this episode, Chris sits down with Roxanne Duckels, accountant, personal finance coach, and the woman behind FinanceRox, for a real, practical, and genuinely fun conversation about creative and resourceful ways to save more without losing your mind or your social life.
Roxanne paid off $49,000 in debt and is on the path to financial independence by 39. She brings a unique perspective to saving: it's less about restriction and more about resourcefulness.
In this episode you'll learn:
- What "purchase procrastination" is and why Roxanne's 30-day rule beats the impulse every time
- How to run no-spend challenges that actually work, including how to set custom rules so you don't feel like you're white-knuckling it
- The "thrift first" strategy for buying almost anything
- Why building skills like sewing, drain snaking, and DIY repairs beats calling a pro
- How Buy Nothing groups and bartering can replace spending with community
- The two money-saving prompts Roxanne uses to find alternatives before buying anything
- Grocery hacks including the reverse shopping list, end-of-day markdowns, and pantry shopping
- The truth about subscriptions, loyalty apps, cash back tools, and bulk buying
- And why keeping an inventory of what you own might be the most underrated money habit
This one is packed. Horns up. 🤘
