EP263 How to Rightsize Your Spending

Oct 4, 2022

Throughout the pandemic, our budgets and spending habits changed immensely. We started ordering groceries online, added to our subscriptions, signed up for online courses, etc. As we gradually come out of the pandemic, many of us may not have taken the time to reevaluate our budgets, and with inflation hitting all-time highs, our money isn’t going as far as it used to. In this episode, I will be walking through some practical steps to ensure your budget is right sized—meaning you haven’t fallen back into old spending habits without removing any pandemic budget additions. 

Listen in as I explain the importance of canceling any new additions from the pandemic that you may no longer be using and making room for the new food expenses, concerts, travel, etc. You will learn how to take a mindful moment before making a purchase, how to feel in control of your spending and debt, and more.
