A Month of Tracking our Spending with Ashley & Jill | Episode 32

On episode 32 of the Isn’t that Rich Podcast we talked about the financial “B” word, otherwise known as budgeting, and one thing we realized was neither one of us knew exactly where our money went each month. In order for us to set up a budget we could stick to, we had to do the leg work ourselves to figure out how much we were spending and whether or not our purchases aligned with our values. So we challenged each other to a month long of tracking our spending! This week we talk through all the purchases we made in a month’s time, no matter how embarrassing they were to admit! Needless to say this exercise was extremely enlightening and we discovered some major spending habits we weren’t aware of before taking this challenge. We hope this episode encourages you to take your own spending tracker challenge so you can see first-hand how easy it is to get off track when you don’t pay attention to where your money really goes.
