Do you despise a budget? This episode is for you!
In this episode, Camille explores the essential financial foundations for creatives, focusing on how to establish a system that allows you to manage money effectively (and easily!!!) when it comes in. She discusses the importance of conscious spending, inspired by Ramit Sethi's framework, which emphasizes allocating income according to four key buckets: fixed costs, investments, savings, and guilt-free spending. Camille encourages listeners to adapt this framework to their unique circumstances, especially in managing fluctuating incomes, and provides practical action steps to help align spending with personal priorities and goals.
