December 12, 2024 480: Control Your Spending By Discovering What You Truly Want
How can I stop mindlessly spending money?
Today I’m back with part 2 of my chat with Jen and Jill from The Frugal Friends Podcast! If you missed part 1, we talked about their top tips for spending guilt-free, all from their new book, Buy What You Love Without Going Broke. This time, we’re diving into a topic I think a lot of us can relate to: how to stop mindless spending. Jen and Jill share how to break the cycle of mindless spending and start shaping our money habits around what really matters to us.

How do we stop tying our spending choices to our sense of self?
With the holidays coming up, it’s easy to overspend and feel guilty later—I know I do.

December 03, 2024 478: Why Are Mortgage Interest Rates Going Higher?
Why aren’t mortgage rates dropping alongside interest rates?
Last month, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates, but mortgage rates actually went up. One key reason is that mortgage rates aren’t directly tied to those set by the Federal Reserve. Today, we’re taking a closer look at this and exploring why mortgage rates often move independently of the Fed’s rate changes.

What are some things that have gotten cheaper over the years despite inflation?
Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who could use a break from work, the news, and everything in between. For this week’s episode, I decided to do something a little different. Over the summer, I worked on a project that involved analyzing years’ worth of inflation data, and I discovered some surprising facts. So today, I’m sharing a few things that have actually gotten cheaper over the years—despite rising inflation!

November 19, 2024 476: The Most Common Money Fears
What’s your biggest fear when it comes to money?
I recently came across an article titled The Most Common Money Fears, written by someone I know well—Melanie Lockert, a Brooklyn-based freelance personal finance writer and the author of Dear Debt. Melanie has been on the show before, and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to invite her back to discuss her article and how our fears can hold us back from reaching our financial goals.
