I’ll let you guys in on a little secret… Jill

I’ll let you guys in on a little secret… Jill and I have been working on a book proposal and it’s currently in the hands (or inboxes) of over 20 editors.

As we wait to hear back I wanted to share some books that inspired us to go in this journey. Starting with Kendra Adachi’s book, The Lazy Genius Way. We were honored to get her on the podcast back in January, she’s a gem.

These are some of my favorite quotes. Many of them relate back to money and spending.

Like the first one, it’s referring to burnout but the same principle applies to money. You can spend money on things you love. But if you love everything, welcome to being broke.

I hope these quotes inspire you and here’s to hoping we can put out a book as fantastic as the ones that have inspired us. @thelazygenius @frugalfriendspodcast

A cup of ☕ coffee won’t break the bank. But if you do it daily, it surely will!
A $6 latte every day for an entire year will cost you $2,200. Other financial decisions are costing you over $2K per year without you noticing it. A new car. Impulse buys on Amazon. A storage unit. The extra 200 sq ft of house you had to have but never use. And the list goes on. The moment you focus on the “hidden” costs first instead of the ones that are right in front of your face, it becomes easier to start cutting on unnecessary expenses.

Budgeting is challenging especially if the problem is the budget itself. I used to be restrictive with my first budget and kept doing the same mistake thinking that the problem was me or my budgeting skills. Turns out the budget is the main problem.

Your choices will make or break you. Agree? 🤔 I’m glad I made some really good saving choices — then I spent the savings on bourbon cherries 🍒 There is no “perfect” when it comes to money management. Your spending mindset trickles out from the small things to the big things. But ultimately we use that mindset to make good decisions on the big things so we have more wiggle room on the small things!

Achieving financial freedom is not as simple as making more money. Income is important and you can only cut so much but you’ll be running that hedonic treadmill your entire life if you don’t learn how to spend with intention and discretion. You can’t out-earn unhealthy spending habits and you will work yourself into the grace trying to.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to handling finances. Following generic advice can yield different results depending on your current situation, the resources available, and your financial goals. The best thing to do is to have a personalized approach to your financial plan to suit your needs and objectives.
