73 | MVP: How Giving Every Dollar A Name Changed Marie’s Spending

The beauty of working with a financial coach is creating a sustainable financial plan. Oftentimes my clients are worried that even though they’ve attempted to budget in the past their financial results have always felt temporary.  They pay off their credit card but then they have a $5,000 balance  before the year is over or they finally start saving money but then they have to constantly dip into savings to cover unplanned expenses.   On today’s episode, I’m resharing one of my favorite episodes with my client Marie.  Before working with me Marie wrote out her bills from the first of the month to the end of the month as a way to keep track of her spending.  Whatever money she had leftover after the bills were paid she viewed it as extra money.  You’ll hear us discuss how learning to give every dollar a name helped her reframe how she thought about the money in her account and how she thought about money on payday.  If you find yourself living paycheck to paycheck or maybe you too have a list of bills as a budget you’ll want to tune into today’s episode.  So listen as she shares her experience working with me as her financial coach and how her life has changed since finishing the program.  In this episode, I ask Marie… [00:04:15] How did you manage your finances prior to working with me? [00:08:35] What has been easier than you expected and what’s been a bit more challenging than you expected? [00:14:58] What has budgeting freed up for you?  Tune in to this episode of Money Files as Marie shares how working with a financial coach has impacted her perspective on money.
