from Millennial Money Matters · host Kelly Turner
Most people set a money goal in January and quit by the 14th (there's actually a stat for that). So Derek Mazzarella, CFP® and Kelly Turner are skipping the resolution and running a 30-Day Financial Reset you can start any time of year. One hour a week, four weeks, done.No guilt. No punishment. No "cut out your coffee" nonsense. Just four simple moves that plug the leaks and point your money at what actually matters to you.Here's the plan:Week 1: Get clear on your priorities and find every account you own (then actually label them)Week 2: Kill duplicate subscriptions and move idle cash into a high-yield savings account (currently paying around 3-4% for doing nothing)Week 3: Pull your full credit report, learn the debt snowball, and build a real payoff plan (we're not Dave Ramsey)Week 4: Audit your insurance (auto, life, disability, home) and get your estate documents in orderPlus how to "grow" once you free up cash, and permission to finally buy the watch (once the boring stuff is handled).Chapters00:00 Parenting and Summer Activities05:09 Financial Reset and Budgeting10:03 Reviewing Subscriptions and Bills14:58 Debt Management and Credit Reports15:50 Understanding Your Credit Score16:29 Reviewing Your Credit Report17:08 Managing Medical Debt17:29 Improving Your Credit Score18:20 Debt Snowballing19:01 Debt Consolidation and Refinancing22:25 Insurance and Protection28:04 Estate Planning and Final Wishes29:31 Financial Growth and Investment
