Episode 13 of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

We had a very fun, energetic and successful boss lady join us for the episode.

Kelsey left her 9-5 job, about a year ago, that she landed from following the 'path' society tells us to follow. "You get the degree, you get the job, then aren't you supposed to be fulfilled"?

She is now a virtual health and fitness coach along with a mindset mentor.

We dive into some questions about how money played a part in her switching paths, does she budget and the stigma around veering from the norm.

Welcome to Episode 12 of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

This episode is our first one with a special guest, Stephen!! 

Recording was a blast and so much fun having a third opinion. We went through some This or That questions related to money and I do not think Lynds and Stephen agreed on any!

Would you rather make more money or spend less?! Make more money than your partner or have your partner make more money than you?! Tune in to find out each or our opinions on all of the questions!

Welcome to Episode 11 of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

This episode is probably one of my favourites that we have recorded so far. Lynds and I are both in heterosexual relationships so a lot of our experiences are from that perspective. 

We dive into money and relationships starting with Valentines Day and how expensive it can be with the expectations society puts on the day and especially the burden put on the guy. 

We talk about about first dates and who is expected to pay. How it can be a big financial expense for men especially when the other party is not considering the cost of their date ideas. How we do not consciously think about the other persons financial situation. 

We go over some male opinions from our friends in a conversation we had before the podcast. One has always taken on the job of paying for the first couple of dates but likes when the girl at least offers.

Then we jump into the topic of when should you start merging your finances in a relationship and lastly we touch on the topic of prenups.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

We researched some common money myths and then went over how ridiculous they are! The money myths we talk about are:

1. Only rich people need budgets

2. You Should have so much saved by x amount of years

3. Credit cards should be avoided

4. Carrying a small balance on your credit card to increase your credit score

5. It is not worth saving if it is only a small amount

Welcome to Episode 9 (first episode of season 2!) of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

Here is the first episode of 2021!!! We talk about how important it is to take care of yourself financially! What does that mean? Why don't we focus on that as much as we focus on eating healthy and exercising?

Taking care of yourself financially is saying no to doing things when they do not fit in your budget. It is budgeting money to be spent on fun things that make you happy so you don't binge spend.

Welcome to Episode 8 of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

This episode we talk about 2020 and the year it has been! Not looking backwards and finding things that make us happy in our new normal. We looked at what changed for us pre-pandemic to now.

We went over our money goals and life goals for 2021. How starting small, maybe working out 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes will keep you from being frustrated and sticking to your goals rather than starting 7 days a week for an hour. 

Find out what happened to Lyndsay and why emergency savings and sinking funds are very important!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and here is to 2021!

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

This episode we talk about the stigma around money and how crazy it is that we can casually talk about boobs and blow jobs but that talking about a budget and asking what someone makes can be considered rude! We dive into the topic of money when it comes to relationships and how laying all your financial information out can be harder than just getting naked.

We also touch on how what you make is not your self worth and I ask Lynd's some questions about how she feels about her significant other making significantly more.

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Fashion Sense Finance Mess Podcast!

This episode we talk all things credit cards. I know this episode is almost 48 minutes but I promise it is not boring even though our topic might not sound exciting. We go over our relationships with credit cards, what our first ones were, how we use them and I give some tips on how to start slow when it comes to credit cards.

This one is becoming one of my favourite episodes so far that we have recorded. Listen so you can hear what I think is the most ridiculous advice Lynds got when it came to her credit card and of course she provides us with the funniest stories when it comes to her finances.
