Feeling overwhelmed about how to improve your finances? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how to complete a personal finance audit in a simple, actionable way. No complicated spreadsheets are required. This personal finance audit is just one way to not only improve your personal finances but help you get ready for retirement.
