This will be my last season of Martinis and Your Money and for this final season, I’ve set the other three people who will join me for happy hour every month.  My final season happy hour crew will be made up of Melanie, who many of you know well as she has been with me from the very first happy hour nine years ago and will continue to stay on with me until the end, my work wife for life and COO of Financial Gym, Alicia, and two time guest and avid podcast listener, Colin.  I’m excited about the energy they bring to various financial topics and I always love hearing what advice, guidance or lessons they’ve learned about personal finance and beyond. This is going to be a great final season with three amazing people for you to get to know and love. Today, we’re talking about our relationship with money and how we’ve all worked to build a healthy foundation to get financially healthy.

Frugality & Budgeting with The Happy Hour Crew

If you're listening to this episode on the day it debuted, you're officially listening on my birthday, April 19th. For my final season of the show, I thought I would bring on the woman who was there from the beginning. Not only the woman who gave me life but also my hero, my mother, Jamie. She joins me to share family stories, especially how my grandparents built a church in Queens, NY, and relive some funny stories of my youth and what I was like growing up  (spoiler alert, I've always been a type A overachiever). I hope you enjoy hearing more about the woman who raised me and the family that inspired my journey.   For more information, visit the show notes:https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode527-shannons-mom

Talking with Mom, the Birthday Episode

We are now in April, and I only have seven more months left of new episodes for Martinis and Your Money. As sad as I am to say goodbye to this podcast, I'm equally excited about the final season of episodes I'm delivering to you every Friday. Each month of this final year is broken down by subjects that are important for anyone's financial health journey, and I'm bringing to you the best guests around each of these subject matters but also sharing with you the best tips and practices I've learned in the last 15+ years.   April is a short month as far as Fridays are concerned, and it's also my birthday month, so I decided to talk about a subject that I personally used to hate but now I love, and that's budgeting and frugality. Joining me today is who I consider to be my OG Queen of Frugality, and that is long-time Martinis and Your Money friend, guest, and Happy Hour Co-Host, Liz Thames, aka Mrs. Frugalwoods. Liz joins me today to talk about why we both love the frugal approach and the crazy expensive purchase she recently made, and she shares her best tips and suggestions for someone new to a frugal journey.   For more information, visit the show notes:https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode526-frugalwoods
