Budgeting: scary, confusing, anxiety-inducing, and somehow something we were never taught in school. 💸

In this episode, Ami passionately shares the budgeting basics she really wishes she’d known when she first started making money (expert? no. opinionated? absolutely). Lydia, meanwhile, decides to face her budgeting anxiety and attempt to start a budget in real time, cue a few “wait… what?” and “ahhh, ok that's not as bad as I thought” moments. Expect laughs, honesty, and two sisters learning together as they prove that budgeting doesn’t have to be perfect to be helpful.
