How to Spend Smarter, Save Strategically, and Grow Your Money

<p dir="ltr">What’s your money story?</p> <p dir="ltr">Do you feel anxious whenever the topic of money comes up in conversation? Does everything seem too expensive to you? Do you scoff at the very idea of investing because you assume you can’t afford it or think it’s too risky? Do you spend every penny when you get it or feel guilty when you spend even on necessary things?</p> <p dir="ltr">If you’re still playing out a money story that doesn’t serve you anymore, then any spending, saving, or investment plan you come up with will most likely backfire. You’ll have a difficult time sticking with it.</p> <p dir="ltr">But you can always create a new money story for yourself, and in April you can join in on my two-part masterclass designed to help you do just that. In this episode of Love Life Connection, you’ll get a little preview and learn how budgeting puts you and the wealthy on the same level, why investing your money can be simpler and less scary than it seems, and ways you can give money (beyond charitable contributions) and earn more money on the side.</p> <p dir="ltr">9:14 - A recap of my money story growing up and how it influenced me as an adult</p> <p dir="ltr">12:16 - Why I don’t like the money mindset concept and the importance of understanding your money story</p> <p dir="ltr">19:53 - Why you don’t have to resent having a budget</p> <p dir="ltr">22:06 - Putting to rest the myth that rich people don’t have budgets</p> <p dir="ltr">25:34 - Savings and the difference between savings and investments</p> <p dir="ltr">29:13 - Why investments seem more complicated than they actually are</p> <p dir="ltr">35:39 - Why investing doesn’t require risking it all or having lots of money upfront to do it</p> <p dir="ltr">38:10 - Ways you can vote with your dollars (and the real truth about the charitable tax break)</p> <p dir="ltr">42:44 - Three ways to earn more money and the benefits of having a side income</p> <p dir="ltr">48:13 - Details on my two-part masterclass coming up next month</p> <p dir="ltr">I hope you en
