Money Matters Episode 185 - Budgeting with the PouchPlan Budget W/ Mitchell Walker

With money being one of the most constrained resources for individuals in today's world, budgeting can be a simple, yet powerful tool to save money fast. Mitchell Walker is the creator and author of the PouchPlan Budget system. After spending 15 years as a CFO of a Berkshire Hathaway company, 11 years as a partner in a public tax practice, owning multiple businesses, serving as CFO of a college and as County Commissioner and City Councilman, Mitchell reveals why the personal side of money is often the most neglected but most important thing to get right. Mitchell was deep in debt and his finances were a mess when the love of his life came on the scene. They started a blended family with 5 children ages 5 to 17 and a lot more love than money. He had to figure out new ways to make money work for him and fast. How he discovered a new approach to personal budgeting will inform and entertain your audience. Mitchell likes to say that they went from "Ouch to Pouch." He enjoys sharing how getting money right makes life easier, much easier; getting it wrong just makes life harder.
