EP 2: Value Spending: A Damn Good Start

In this podcast episode, it’s just little ole’ me. Today we begin where financial strength nearly always begins: with value spending. Here we discover why value spending habits, not unsustainable frugality, really impact the bottom line.

In this episode we cover:

• The Pareto Principle and how to apply to personal finances
• Identifying our spending “weaknesses”
• “The Big Three” spending categories and cost saving solutions
• Help with one-off expenses and compulsive spending

Hey guys, how do you feel about solo episodes where I take a deeper dive into a previously published (and written) topic? Does this tickle your fancy? I sure hope so.

Oh yeah, I’ll be out in the sticks for a few days. As such, I apologize if I’m slow to respond to comments, suggestions, etc. Happy listening!
