A Sunny Side Up Life Podcast

EP. 57 Seven Rock Bottom Money Moments + The Lessons Learned From Them


Listen Later

If you’ve ever screwed up with money you know about the mental scars and PTSD that it can leave you with. Looking back on your financial mistakes can feel like a strong punch in the stomach, especially if you’ve ever rolled change to buy milk, had your electricity cut off, or charged fast food…all of which I’ve done, by the way. These harsh memories don’t leave you, even after you’re debt-free with a 5-figure savings account.

In this episode, I’m sharing a few of my rock-bottom money moments that are still haunting me nearly 10 years later, and what I learned from all of those experiences.

In this episode, I share about:

  • Having my electricity cut off + being forced into automatic payments

  • Going out to eat with no money in the bank

  • Begging to raise my credit card limit for an overnight trip

  • Rolling change to buy groceries

  • What I learned from all of these bad financial experiences

  • Why having cash at home made me feel powerful

  • The PTSD/anxiety that I still have around money
