We are joined by Ceara’s older brother, Brady Kirkpatrick. Brady is a Certified Financial Planner and shares all kinds of valuable money advice with us in a fun, casual way. We know learning more about finances can be really overwhelming so we wanted to have someone on the podcast who is very personal, young, and makes the information digestible.

There can be a lot of negative thoughts around money but once you let go of that fear, you will find that financial freedom is much more attainable. A quote that really resonates with us is, “live poor now so that you can live rich later.” So much of today’s culture encourages impulse shopping, overspending, and not planning for the future. Budgeting, sacrifices, and resisting temptation aren’t really shown on Instagram but we’re here to break down that wall.

Brady’s last takeaways are - it’s never too late to get started, create a plan that works with your value system, stick with it, review your finances regularly and live by the 50/30/20 rule.
