This is a replay episode of one of our more popular episodes from January of 2021 when Rachel Cruze came on our show promoting her book that came out that very week. This episode has lots of great financial advice. It also led to my wife and I working on a budget and telling our money where to go. It was a fun conversation. You'll get a lot out of it whether you're rich, poor, or somewhere in between.
