Wallet Therapy: How Do I Prioritize My Money?

Today’s episode is a little different because Becky is away on her podcast tour, so Alex is flying solo and answering your money questions.From $18,000 in credit card debt and feeling overwhelmed, to figuring out how to prioritize an emergency fund, Roth IRA, HSA, student loans, and future goals, Alex talks through the real-life financial decisions that can feel complicated when you’re trying to do everything at once.She also breaks down snowball vs. avalanche debt payoff, what to consider when your student loans are in deferment, and whether apps like Acorns and Fetch are actually helping you—or just making it easier to spend.Plus, a rapid-fire round covering mortgages, investing, checking your investments, combining finances with a partner, and one of the biggest financial mistakes people make in their 30s: waiting.But underneath all of these questions is something bigger.Fear of making the wrong decision.Fear of falling behind.Fear of not knowing enough.You don't need to have everything figured out to start feeling more confident with money.Sometimes you just need to make the next right decision.Money is emotional—and you deserve to feel safe with it. 💚Send us your money questions for a future episode!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
