Early on in my financial journey I came across an article about financial milestones by age and I was completely discouraged by it. Why? Because based on my life circumstances, I was no where near the milestones for my age.
Instead of looking at age based milestones, in this episode of the podcast, I focus on 5 financial milestones that actually matter regardless of your age.
1. Living Below Your Means (& Investing Early and Often)
2. Having and honouring your financial boundaries
3. Becoming Financially Literate/Aware
4. Avoiding Lifestyle Creep When You Become A High Earner
5. Building Wealth and Making Money Conversations The Norm With Your Kids
Now, I think those milestones are good guidelines, but they are probably work for those who live a very check-the-box lifestyle with everything going to plan from birth! Unfortunately, this is not the story for most of us. Now, over a decade later, while I didnt start out close to the milestone for my age, I'm on track to exceed the next financial milestone.Thank you for the gift of your time and attention.

Hot takes are so freaking popular and they're clickbaitey (is that a word) but they seem to work. The thing is though, they are hardly ever 100% true and there's always nuance to things in the world of personal finance.
In this week's episode of the podcast, I respond to 6 hot takes and share my personal opinions/thoughts. Again, am I always right? No!
This is not financial advice, just me sharing my nuanced views. Personal finance is personal, always sort through information with your own internal filter!Thank you for the gift of your time and attention.

The Holiday season is here and this episode is inspired by the OG podcaster, Myliek. In a recent episode, she briefly touched on boundaries over the holiday season and my brain went...pingggg and here we are. This got me thinking about how often we hear or even we talk about getting through the holiday season and that does not sound enjoyable.
So this episode is a reminder for all of us to set the following boundaries especially this season:
1. Set Boundaries with yourself and pour into yourself
2. Set boundaries at work this season
3. Set boundaries with your family
4. Set financial boundaries NOW
5. Schedule time with your chosen family
6. Embrace the Joy of Missing Out
Have a wonderful holiday season, with your boundaries out in full force!Thank you for the gift of your time and attention.
