They paid off significant debt and managed financial crises by agreeing on priorities and refining their approach through experimentation. She believes in making incremental changes rather than overhauling everything at once, and stresses the importance of understanding each other’s perspectives and motivations.
Ep 86-Saving Money Might Be a Bad Choice
May 3, 2024 in Podcast /by AustinThis week, Austin and Bob begin an extensive series on savings strategies…but not from the standpoint you might expect. In fact, this first episode will explore different attitudes towards saving, from extreme penny-pinching to a more balanced approach, and why you might be causing more harm than good to your financial management if you save for the sake of saving. Instead, they talk about the importance of having a purpose and strategy behind saving and discuss the impact of early life experiences on one’s mindset about money.
