SMART goals are out, CRUSH money goals are in! We’re joined today by expert money coach Bernadette Joy, who we met for the first time last year at the nerdy personal finance and media conference that we attended. We actually gave a talk, while Bernadette was the host for the entire conference, and there may not be anyone else on earth with as much personal finance enthusiasm as Bernadette. She’s a breath of fresh air to the world of personal finance and is featured monthly in Forbes, CNBC, and CNET. Her new book, Crush Your Money Goals, came out last month and we were stoked to discuss a number of topics like clawing out of $300,000 of debt, scaling side hustles into legit businesses, why Bernadette hates the term “emergency fund”, her $1 Rule, a new take on the Shabbat, and plenty more!
