Wallet Talks with Wallet Coach - Jason & Tiffany Alexander

Like for real how much is enough to have to feel like I will be safe and secure if something hits the fan and I am totally stressed out again, smh.  I know how this feels and it's something we dread figuring out because it's so hard to know exactly what is enough. In this episode we shed some light on what is enough on a beginners level. We break down the "enough" into tiers that you can use to determine how much emergency fund should be for your situation.  After you listen, let us know how much you think you should have and share it with a friend.  See you next time. 

This episode we quickly break down the myth that if you don't have consistent income you can not do a budget.  Not only do we bust the myth, we teach the primary items you should budget for. We even share the proper amount of savings a person with inconsistent income should have. This will be very informative yet less than 15 minutes to listen to.   Hope you enjoy.

We talk about how to stick to our spending plans aka budgets in front of friends and family without all the awkwardness.  The primary way is by using a phrase we hear very often and  don't realize it. The phrase is "it's against our policy".  Have you ever heard this phrase before, where were you, what were you trying to do, and did the phrase prevent you from getting what you want?  If it did then the phrase worked, for the person who said it. We are going to talk about how to use that phrase to protect your wallet and prevent it from being abused or misused.   Tell us what phrases you used in the past that helped you say no to over spending. Happy new year and happy listening
