Smart Saving Secrets: How to Take Control of Your Finances Without Feeling Restricted


Listen Later

In this episode of Moms Makin Dough, host Kendra Hewitt dives into the essential practice of becoming a “Smart Saver”, sharing actionable steps to transform your money mindset and habits. While traditional advice often tells you to “spend less and save more,” Kendra believes that true financial empowerment lies in understanding how to manage your money strategically.

Drawing from her personal experiences and family dynamics, Kendra walks listeners through her quarterly money ritual—an insightful exercise she calls the statement audit. By categorizing your spending into three areas—necessities, negotiables, and nice-to-haves—this method uncovers patterns and empowers you to make informed decisions.

Key takeaways include:

• Identifying your financial “blueprint” and understanding how it impacts your spending habits.

• Breaking down your monthly expenses into clear categories for a realistic overview of your finances.

• Learning how to negotiate costs and align spending with what truly matters to you.

• Shifting from traditional savings advice to adopting a mindset of smart saving and strategic spending.

With relatable stories, such as the influence of her grandmother’s money habits and her commitment to teaching her daughter better financial values, Kendra brings a fresh and practical approach to personal finance.
