personal finance check in (i went to budget island and nobody there knew you)

53 minutes

join us for a special mid-year episode where we dive deep into our wallets and check the pulse of our financial health! we reflect on how our attitudes towards money have evolved over the past six months- from the highs of newfound financial mindfulness to the lows of unexpected expenses, we explore the ups and downs of our spending habits, uncovering areas where we've splurged and where we've saved. plus, we reveal our progress on financial goals set at the beginning of the year and discuss adjustments needed for the remainder of the year. questions we answered:

How do I feel about my current financial situation compared to six months ago?

Have there been any changes in my attitude or mindset towards money?

What were my financial goals at the beginning of the year? Have I made progress toward achieving these goals? If yes, what milestones have I reached? If not, what obstacles have I encountered?

Have there been any unexpected expenses or changes in income that have affected my budget?

Are there areas where I've overspent or underspent? How can I adjust my budget accordingly for the remainder of the year?

Are there any adjustments I need to make to my savings or investment strategy for the second half of the year?

Have I been able to stick to my debt repayment plan? If not, what challenges have I faced?

Are there any areas of personal finance where I feel I need more knowledge or support?

Based on my reflections, what adjustments do I need to make to my financial plan for the rest of the year? Are there any new financial goals or priorities that I want to set for the remainder of the year?
