The simple system that unlocked my 38% savings rate | Jess Gets Investing
About this episode
Jess learns about budgeting and savings rates to improve her cashflow before investing.
Before investing a single cent, you need to get your cashflow sorted. So today we step into the practical side of things; budgeting, savings rates, and the systems that make investing possible. To set up a system she will actually stick to, Jess speaks to Glen James- host of the Money Money Money podcast and former financial adviser. Plus Jess receives some much needed encouragement from listener Phoebe, who shares her story that the dreaded admin of setting up your money right, is well worth it. By the end of this episode, Jess will walk away with a realistic (and surprisingly generous) savings rate and budgeting framework- and you can too!
