Did anyone else feel a wave of anxiety flood though their guts, just from reading the title of this episode? SAME (or if not... #good4u). Everyone has some type of relationship with budgeting -- whether we like it or not. Lucky for us, our featured guest, Noah Bader, sheds light on the topic and makes the idea of budgeting feel A LOT less intimidating.

Noah is an anomaly with a background in Math. He grew up in Toledo and currently lives in Thornton, Colorado. He is passionate about finance, sports, music, and learning. In this episode, Noah discusses how his own budget has acted as a compass for meeting his long term personal goals. We learn some key concepts that may promote a greater sense of financial well-being.

Take a listen to learn more about: 1) the benefit of STARTING a budget (imperfection is welcome), 2) the importance of initiating further education on the topic, and 3) behavioral strategies that promote greater financial self-control.
