We Make $7,000/Month… So Why Are We Still Broke? (Budget Makeover)

About this episode

The hosts discuss a listener's financial struggles and offer advice on refining their budget to stop living paycheck to paycheck.

We got a budget confession that’s too good (and relatable) not to share. A listener shared their finances along with the moments that make money feel impossible to manage. In this episode, our goal is to figure out ways they can refine their budget, stop living paycheck to paycheck, and achieve their financial goals without depriving them of the things they value. 🎙️ Get full show notes here! https://bit.ly/ffpbudgetmakeover 📚 Our book: Buy What You Love Without Going Broke https://www.frugalfriendspodcast.com/order-buy-what-you-love-without-going-broke/   💌 Want to save money and spend better in just 5 minutes?
