What a few weeks it’s been. Today on the ‘Your Greatest Worth’ podcast Sam and I are chatting about how to create an emergency budget, telling you all about ‘The Emergency Budget Blueprint’ which is out in the world NOW, and we give you an update on the strategies we’re using to thrive, not only in our money but in our lives, during this time of quarantine.

Can being in debt cause depression? It’s a question that I asked myself multiple times while I was in the middle of my debt payoff process. There were multiple moments during that process where I would just collapse on the floor feeling SO dang defeated.

I chalked it up to working long hours and not paying much attention to my self care, but after my talk with Melanie Lockert of “Dear Debt” I realize that being constantly stressed about money 100% affected my mental health. If you suffer from depression or anxiety, debt could very likely be the culprit. Tune in to learn more!

So today on the podcast Sam and I have an emergency budget meeting in real time. This discussion is our attempt to create a new budget in this time of crisis. There’s really no precedent for the coronavirus. Meaning I don’t know how long we’ll be quarantined to our homes. I don’t know how this will affect my business or Sam’s business. We don’t know ANYTHING.

The one thing we can do is to take some time to look at our numbers and see how much we actually need to live on, cut unnecessary spending and make a prediction for how long we can survive with the resources we have right now.

Sam and I talk about 10 actions we're taking in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Because action is what is keeping me from wallowing in fear - these actions are true to our family's values and helping us stay grounded in the truth that "this too shall pass." [Of course we include how to prepare our money!]
