In this episode, Murphy sits down with his wife, Jennifer, to talk about the costs associated with Foster care. To be totally honest, Fostering a child is not something Murphy thought he'd be doing...in-part, due to all of his financial goals. However, after getting some experience in the process and actually receiving a child to care for Murphy was surprised at the cost..... because it was so minimal!

This episode is for anyone interested in learning more about foster care or how you can help support foster parents even if you don't have the bandwidth or space for a foster child at this time!

The Minimalists is a documentary on Netflix about being intentional with the things in your life. Making room for only what you really need. In this episode, Murphy explores how this is also tied to using monthly spending plans (budgeting).

We are all emotional and sometimes irrational beings. We know what’s good for us but we don’t always do it. It’s hard but it can be learned. It’s a skill that can be trained little by little over time. And it may be easier than you think!

You can have the financial life you desire! The path won’t be perfect and it won’t always be easy but you can get there, you just have to take the first steps.

This episode will discuss how you can get started!
