S3 Campfire #6 Financial Planning Tabata - Stop, Start, Continue & Reduce

Hey, hey Shelfies, thanks for staying curious We're back with Part 2 of our finance campfires, and we are re-joined by our Finance PT Bianca Williams, Certified Financial Planner (CFP).  You'll recall Bianca joined us in Season 2, Campfire 3 where we talked about relationships with money and Bianca asked if we commit time to review and look at our finances as we may do with other things in our lives. Bianca again gives us some great insightful information about things we can do if we are trying to align our finances in particular in this climate of increased inflation, high utility costs, and general cost of living.  We also talked about seeking support from family and friends and the value we place on the things we buy.  M&S sandwich v homemade?  We'd love to hear your thoughts on this.  Not sure about you, but it's actually causing us some real headspace in terms of thinking about what and how we spend our money these days...... The key take-aways for this Campfire are the Financial Planning Tabata - Stop (what can you stop doing to recoup some finances), Start (what should you start doing to add value to the things you are spending money on and what should you start doing to build on your finances), Continue (what's going well), and Reduce (OK, we don't need to stop this completely, but let's reduce it slightly). What great advice.  Simple and easy to implement. As always, share your comments and thoughts on this campfire on our social media pages. Thanks for staying curious Patsy & Lydia Edits by Che Cardoso
