Optimal Finance Daily - Financial Independence and Money Advice

Amanda Brownlow of Hello Brownlow shares how to complete your very first spending audit. This is part 1 of 2.

Episode 2436: [Part 1] How to Complete Your Very First Spending Audit by Amanda Brownlow on Managing Your Finances

Amanda is passionate about doing things herself. She loves to see how far she can stretch a dollar, minimize her home, and make her budget (and her life) more efficient. 

She only writes about budgeting and minimizing tricks that she has tried so that she knows that they work. She is on her journey to financial independence with her Little Guy in tow, and while maintaining a budget that allows her to save almost HALF of her income, she’s still able to go on adventures around the country. 

When she’s not running after her one-year-old, she’s writing about and thinking about new ways to make her life more efficient and bring simplicity to everything she does.
