This week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, I’m sharing with you my experience with my no-spend October, where I only spent money on the necessities (along with a few cheats along the way). 

I called it my Spend Fast Month…not to be confused with spending money as fast as possible, it was fasting from spending money, which is a different idea entirely! 

Today, I’m talking about the rules I laid out for myself during my no spend month.

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I’m your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory practice managing over $400 million in client assets. 

Here on this podcast I help you plan, save, & invest wisely to live a fulfilling and financially secure retirement with brief, daily, actionable tips. I’m glad you’re here, making this podcast part of your daily routine, & spending a few minutes with me each day.

This week’s theme is: Reflections on my No Spend October

Welcome to the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I’m your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing over $400 million in client assets. 

This week I’m traveling for work - actually I’ll be in Atlanta, but by the time you hear this episode, I’ll be back home again. I do love Georgia - the last time I was in 2013 when I went to the Masters in Augusta with my dad. That was a special trip and he got to cross off his #1 bucket list item. No golf this time, but it will be interesting to be in a swing state so close to the election. 

I live in Oregon which is so deep blue, it’s almost black out here, so we don’t even have any political ads. In fact, true story, you won’t even find any information about Trump in the official Oregon voter pamphlet. True story - google it. But I digress... 

Since I’m traveling, I don’t have any new episodes this week, but I do have a special announcement - coming back for a 3rd installment for 2024 is another office hours session where you’ll have the chance to ask me your most burning question about retirement. 

Sessions in May and August filled up quickly, so if you want to pick my brain you can click on the link in the show notes to register. 

I’m switching up the format for this Office Hours. The last 2 were group discussions via Zoom, this time you’ll sign up for a one-on-one session. I’ve had some feedback where some people prefer the one-on-one format for personal financial questions, so we’ll give that a try this time around. 

I love meeting listeners and it’s a lot of fun to answer your questions - I always learn something and I hope you will too! At the very least, you’ll come away with some valuable insight, more clarity, and actionable next steps on what's most on your mind regarding retirement! All with no strings attached! 

Note: There are 6 time slots available. Click on the date to see all available times and follow the steps to book your preferred time slot. If you don't see an available time, please send me an email and I will add you to the waitlist.
