33 \\ Financial Systems (Part 1) | Practical Tips for Managing Personal Finances

In this episode of The Being Better Everyday Podcast, I am starting a series on finances. This is part 1 and full disclosure, as someone with a finance degree and somebody that is securities licensed, nothing on this podcast is investment or financial advice or tax planning advice, nor is it affiliated with any organization other than PW Designs. I'm coming at you as a bestie, sitting across from you with a hot cup of coffee, talking to a friend, and geeking out about finances.   You'll get the inside scoop on how we keep track of bills and transactions with our trusty spreadsheets. I'll walk you through our cash-based approach for handling those unpredictable expenses that pop up, and I'll stress why setting up automatic savings is a game-changer for us. Plus, I'll touch on the sneaky subject of subscription costs and how keeping an eye on them can make a big difference.   But it's not just about the tools and tactics; it's about the mindset. I'll dive into how sticking to consistent financial habits has been key to our long-term stability and growth. So, if you're looking to get your financial systems in order, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you do just that.
