The Feeling of Money Control

Something we always say on this show is that money is highly personal. Well, one thing I’ve learned is there’s no specific “accomplishment” moment for when you are in control of your money. For some people it’s being able to buy whatever kind of cheese they want at the grocery store, for others it's the feeling of not worrying about the next paycheck. Today is the first episode of our new regular listener stories series, with The Billfold editor Nicole Dieker, where we feature listener's creative reflections on different financial topics. Our Next Topic The next prompt for our listener stories series is "Ramen" - do what that with you will.
