In this episode, we’re wrapping up our budget themed month with my Instagram bestie and Powersheets accountability partner, Alli Williams. Alli shares what it’s been like to go from a debt-free single woman to a married woman paying off her husband’s $150k worth of debt. She shares how her life has changed now that she's married and deep in debt, and also what she’s not willing to cut back on in her budget.

Alli also lets us in on the struggles she sees her coaching clients facing with starting a budget and making their goals happen, and how to overcome them.

IN THIS EPISODE, SAMI + Alli CHAT ABOUT:

• The difference between budgeting as a single woman vs. as a married woman

• What to do when your spouse isn’t really into budgeting

• What it’s like to take on your partner’s student loan debt

• Why you don’t have to follow “the rules” of the personal finance world to be successful with money

• How to find a happy middle ground between Gazelle Intense and no budget at all

• Why women should feel empowered by money, not scared of it
