Ep 14: Why You Can't Seem to Stay Motivated Toward Your Money Goals and What's Missing That Will Keep You on Track

Whether your goal this year is to pay off debt, reach a new savings level or achieve a specific financial-related goal, it's easy to lose motivation if working toward that goal also requires you to make trade-offs or change habits that you enjoy or are really used to. The main reason people lose motivation toward these types of goals is because they are actually tasks that need to be completed in pursuit of a greater, more exciting and rewarding goal. In this episode, Kelley Long, your fairy financial coach, gets into the reasons you may be struggling to stick with new habits you set to support your money goals and offers insight into how to reframe what you want so that you can push through and stay on track. Listen for her unpopular take on emergency funds, how she personally overcame debt more than once in her life and how to keep yourself accountable to the intentions you set, even when the excitement wears off.
