The Rational Reminder Podcast

Spending and Budgeting: Aligning Your Values and Goals To Your Finances (EP.37)


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 37 of the Rational Reminder Podcast. On today’s show we are joined by Lindsay Plumb, Chief Coach-ess of MOOLA Financial Coaches and Advisors. We’re discussing spending and budgeting, because that’s kind of the opposite end of the spectrum of what we always talk about. We usually assume people already have wealth, but that’s not always the case. Even if you do, both spending and budgeting are super important. Just getting in line with your values and what you spend money on, that affects everybody, no matter how many assets you might have. So in this episode we dive into what it means to have an understanding and alignment of what your values are and what your goals are and how that should inform your financial decisions. We’re helping you help yourself and for that we’ve brought in the Chief Coach-ess with the most-ess. So, for all this and more, keep listening!
