    Today Steven Hughes and I are answering a question that I received from Anna.  We spend so many years as a broke student that once we finally get a real paycheck its hard to know what we should be doing with all that money.  Steven and I give Anna, and you, some tips on how to handle that new steady income.

    Mental health and money aren't two topics that you hear discussed together very often. Today's guest, Melanie Lockert, has made it her mission to create a space where these discussions can be had. Melanie and I discuss her talk at a recent Plutus Voices event and why it is important to have these conversations.

    I'm posting today's episode from my hotel room in Toronto Canada.  I think I may be losing my voice, but I still wanted to put out an episode for you.

    I mentioned last week that Popcorn Finance was named as a finalist for two Plutus Awards.  One of those nominations was for Best Series for the Poppin' with F.I.R.E. series I did earlier this year.  So today I'm bringing you one of my favorite episodes from that series! 

    Jillian Shares how a tough experience as a child pushed her towards financial independence.

    Today's Guest: Jillian Johnsrud from Montana Money Adventures (https://www.montanamoneyadventures.com/)

    Paying off debt can be an emotional journey, so it makes sense that it would be tough to keep that momentum going once your debt is gone.  Today I tackle a question that I received from Tamie on this very topic with some help from financial coach Ericka Young.
