Living responsibly with our finances does not mean total deprivation. While there are many voices telling us how to achieve our financial goals, Jill of Frugal Friends Podcast teaches that choices about money are not black and white, but will vary from person to person based on our values. The notion of values-based spending gives you freedom to use your money on the things that matter most to you. Join us to hear Jill’s refreshing perspective on all things spending and saving!
In this episode, we cover:
- Looking beyond budgeting and embracing values-based spending
- Practical tips for evaluating your own personal values
- The top five reasons for impulse spending and how to interrupt the pattern
- How you can challenge yourself to put an end to impulse purchases
- Why having unlimited resources is not actually ideal
- How the content you consume impacts your spending habits
- Landing in the “radical middle” between extreme finance messaging
- Mindset shifts and practical strategies for saving money on groceries amidst ever-increasing costs
- Ideas for navigating Christmas gifts while trying to save money
