#reversebudgeting #moneyandmortgages #personalfinance

In this podcast episode, host Adam Coleman talks with Certified Financial Planner David Wanya about the concept of reverse budgeting, a departure from traditional budgeting methods that focuses on 'paying yourself first'—allocating money to savings and investment before spending the remainder. They discuss how reverse budgeting encourages automatic saving to meet financial goals such as retirement or handling variable income, the importance of automation in maintaining the savings pace, and tools like Monarch money and YNAB to support budgeting efforts. The conversation also covers strategies for managing debt within the reverse budgeting framework and emphasizes the flexibility and personalized approach required when dealing with varying income levels or big-ticket expenses.
