How to Buy What You Love Without Going Broke in 2025 (SB1627)


Listen Later

What if you could spend guilt-free on what you love and keep your finances on track? In this episode, we’re joined by Jen and Jill from the Frugal Friends podcast to break down how to live frugally without crossing the line into being cheap.

Frugal living isn’t about deprivation—it’s about prioritizing your spending on what truly lights you up while cutting back on the things that don’t. Jen and Jill share practical strategies to help you:

  • Identify the difference between frugal and cheap decisions.
  • Build a spending plan that aligns with your values and goals.
  • Use budgeting as a tool for joy, not restriction.
  • But that’s not all. We also explore:

    • The hidden dangers of compulsive trading and its growing impact on investors.
    • Doug’s deep dive into his Amazon spending history—prepare for a laugh and a wake-up call.
    • Whether you’re looking to reframe your relationship with money or simply want to enjoy what you love without breaking the bank, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you crush your financial goals in 2025.

      Tune in and learn how to master the art of intentional spending!
