Ever feel like you’re earning good money but somehow have nothing to show for it? You’re not alone! This episode dives into the five reasons why this might be happening and how to start flipping the script. From systems and goals to managing impulse spending and resisting the PTA's surprise volleyball fundraiser, we’ve got practical tips and relatable laughs to help you take control of your finances.

Key Takeaways:

Reason #1: No System

Money without a system is like laundry without a schedule—chaos!
It’s not just about a budget but a budget system.

Reason #2: Not Paying Attention

Ignoring your bank account doesn’t make problems disappear.
It’s time to take a guilt-free, honest look at your spending.

Reason #3: No Goals

Without clear goals, money just slips away.
Rediscover your “why” to stay motivated.

Reason #4: Letting Others Decide

Stop being reactive. Whether it’s kids, coworkers, or subscription services—take back control.
Practice saying “no” or “not right now” (we share some creative ways to do it!).

Reason #5: Spending Without a Purpose

Spending is fine—but let’s make it intentional.
Separate spending accounts can help reduce the overwhelm and prevent accidental overspending.

Homework:

Print out your bank statement for one month (avoid holiday months for more accuracy). Grab your highlighters, categorize your spending, and find your biggest money leaks. This step helps you build a realistic and clear budget moving forward.

Fun Moment:

Shana shared her favorite no-fail strategy for handling her kids’ impulse asks: “Go ask your dad!” Vanessa chimed in with her Amazon “save for later” folder that rivals most people's retirement accounts.
