It’s Sunday, which means...It’s recap time! 

This week, I talked about re-evaluating your spending priorities during COVID-19. 

With so many restrictions on travel, eating out, closed stores, this is a unique time to think about the areas of spending in your life that are most important, as well as those areas that are least important.

So this week, my goal was to help you use this time as an opportunity to let go of the areas of spending that you don’t miss that much, and be more intentional about spending money from here on out. Your wallet, your overall life satisfaction today, and your long-term financial security tomorrow will thank you. 

Here’s what we covered in each episode this week:

• Understanding spending needs vs. wants vs. wishes
• What do you desperately long to spend money on, and why you should pay attention to that
• What you should stop spending money on after COVID
• What you should spend more money on after COVID
• And...how to break your bad spending habits and why now is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do that

Hopefully after listening to the One Minute Retirement Tip this week, you have become more intentional about using this time to shed the non-essential and prioritize those areas of spending that you actually care about - the ones that are meaningful and bring joy and real satisfaction.

Tomorrow, we are starting a brand new theme: Should you refi now? Mortgage rates are insanely low by historical norms. If you bought a house in the 70s, 80s, or even in the 90s, today’s mortgage rates would have been a dream come true. But not everyone should be re-financing right now. So next week I’ll talk about the circumstances where you should consider refinancing, and when it’s best to take a pass on today’s historically low interest rates. 

That’s it for this week! Thanks for listening and I hope you have a blessed Sunday!
