What to know about personal finance and budgeting

Listen Later

With tax season coming up, Tennessee residents are starting to think about detangling their personal finances a little more than usual.

Tracking spending, expenses investments, planning for emergencies, college, retirement and more – it’s a lot! Making a personal budget also requires a lot of thinking about the future, which can be complicated and emotionally-taxing (pun intended).

Today, we’re sitting down with experts to answer your questions and learn more about what resources are available in Middle Tennessee.

But first, we're joined by WPLN's afternoon host Marianna Bacallao for an update on the future of drag in Tennessee.

Guests:

  • Samantha Tidwell, speech pathologist and local homeowner who budgets to the dollar

  • Kandace Harris, vice president of business development at Citizens Bank

  • Bill Parker, director of the Tennessee Financial Literacy Commission

  • Erin Akery, senior manager of United Way of Greater Nashville's Financial Empowerment Center
