- 1:08Speaker 1: Welcome back to Rock My Finances I'm so glad you're here,
- 1:13Speaker 1: and I want to mention that I do research a
- 1:17Speaker 1: lot for this podcast, and I see what's current and
- 1:20Speaker 1: what things are being searched. So I'm trying to find
- 1:23Speaker 1: out what women want to hear more about. And today
- 1:27Speaker 1: you actually use the word self sabotage financially, so I
- 1:32Speaker 1: thought that was pretty curious, and apparently it's gotten several hits,
- 1:34Speaker 1: so you are not alone if you are feeling this.
- 1:37Speaker 1: So hidden ways women self sabotage. And before we judge
- 1:42Speaker 1: this phrase, let's not judge it. Okay, let me just
- 1:45Speaker 1: say financially, self sabotage usually has very little to do
- 1:49Speaker 1: with intelligence, has very little to do with education, has
- 1:54Speaker 1: very little to do with money experience. Some of the smartest,
- 1:58Speaker 1: most capable, loving women I know still struggle with money pattern.
- 2:03Speaker 1: And this is a pattern, right, Sabotaging is a pattern.
- 2:06Speaker 1: We can sabotage ourselves and relationships and our job and
- 2:11Speaker 1: with our money. So why why is this a pattern? Well,
- 2:14Speaker 1: because money behaviors are often emotional. They're not logical. Yes,
- 2:18Speaker 1: I know, emotions, emotions are everywhere, hormones and emotions.
- 2:23Speaker 2: So here's just a few signs.
- 2:24Speaker 1: So that you can see if you want to continue
- 2:27Speaker 1: to listen to this episode because you might not be
- 2:29Speaker 1: a self sabotager. So here's some ways that you can
- 2:33Speaker 1: be self sabotaging without even knowing it. Right.
- 2:36Speaker 2: We have to have the awareness.
- 2:37Speaker 1: First, avoiding looking at your bank account, emotional or stress
- 2:42Speaker 1: spending like retail therapy, over spending to impress others. This
- 2:47Speaker 1: happens a lot, so if you feel like you need
- 2:49Speaker 1: to be a labelmonger or something like that. Feeling guilty
- 2:53Speaker 1: about spending on yourself. I have a lot of women
- 2:55Speaker 1: that will do anything for their kids and their husband
- 2:57Speaker 1: and their house and their home, but they will buy
- 2:59Speaker 1: a new dress. Yes, they'll still wear the same old
- 3:02Speaker 1: thing to the same old party, even like a special occasion.
- 3:05Speaker 1: They'll pull something out of the closet instead of actually
- 3:09Speaker 1: getting something fresh for themselves. Feeling guilty about spending on yourself.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Consistently rescuing other people financially, so giving money to people,
- 3:19Speaker 1: ignoring debt or bills, avoiding financial conversations. Do you find
- 3:24Speaker 1: yourself just kind of backing away when your spouse or
- 3:26Speaker 1: business partner or yourself need to look at your money, saying, oh,
- 3:31Speaker 1: I'll deal with that. Later, or even thinking I'll deal
- 3:34Speaker 1: with that later. Do you live from paycheck to paycheck
- 3:37Speaker 1: without a plan of getting out of that rat race?
- 3:40Speaker 1: Undercharging or undervaluing yourself? If you're a business owner and
- 3:45Speaker 1: you're undercharging, or if you're an employee, do you undervaluate
- 3:49Speaker 1: yourself and not ask for that raise when you should
- 3:52Speaker 1: be receiving that raise, or working way too much over
- 3:55Speaker 1: time and not really getting paid what you should be
- 3:57Speaker 1: being paid for, not asking for raises or better pay,
- 4:00Speaker 1: shopping when you're lonely or stressed or bored, Comparing yourself
- 4:04Speaker 1: to others financially. I think a lot of us do
- 4:07Speaker 1: this because we want a Barama where we should be.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Well, that doesn't work.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Comparing I'm sorry, waiting for others or someone else to
- 4:17Speaker 1: rescue you. Do you remember Cinderella story when that prince
- 4:21Speaker 1: was going to come in on that shiny right white
- 4:23Speaker 1: horse and rescue us, and as a pretty woman said,
- 4:27Speaker 1: send the freakinrella and no say that, but you know
- 4:29Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah? Are we waiting for somebody else
- 4:32Speaker 1: to come in and figure it out? Do you just
- 4:34Speaker 1: believe you're just bad with money? Feeling overwhelmed every time
- 4:38Speaker 1: somebody starts talking about money, avoiding future planning, avoiding retirement planning,
- 4:44Speaker 1: spending first and then figuring it out later. That is
- 4:47Speaker 1: a plan, right, staying financially dependent out of fear. Are
- 4:51Speaker 1: you in a bad relationship with money, either a business
- 4:55Speaker 1: partner or a spouse or your children? Are your children
- 4:58Speaker 1: taking advantage of your money? Are they living with you
- 5:01Speaker 1: when they're twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five?
- 5:03Speaker 1: Do they come back out after college and stay for
- 5:06Speaker 1: years without paying rent or without contributing to the household?
- 5:10Speaker 1: Are you making decisions emotionally instead of intentionally not knowing
- 5:15Speaker 1: where your money is going? Y'all, we got to look
- 5:18Speaker 1: at our numbers. Like, if you don't know where anything's happening,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you're just going to feel so overwhelmed, putting everyone else's
- 5:24Speaker 1: needs before yours, starting budgets but never following through. You'll
- 5:29Speaker 1: have to hear my other episode on a spending plan
- 5:31Speaker 1: instead of a budget, ignoring small problems until they become
- 5:35Speaker 1: great big and like are you looking at.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Your money each month? Do you know what's coming out
- 5:41Speaker 2: of your bank accounts?
- 5:42Speaker 1: I'm telling you, every time I look at my credit cards,
- 5:45Speaker 1: there is a bogus charge on there, so we got
- 5:48Speaker 1: to keep an eye on our financial world. Do you
- 5:51Speaker 1: feel shame around money mistakes that we've made in the past,
- 5:54Speaker 1: Avoiding learning about money because it feels just so intimidating,
- 5:58Speaker 1: using credit cards to maintain a life lifestyle instead of
- 6:01Speaker 1: just emergency only, or for the point right, living in
- 6:04Speaker 1: financial chaos instead of creating structure, waiting to feel confident
- 6:08Speaker 1: before taking action when this does not work, because taking
- 6:12Speaker 1: action helps you feel confident. So these things quietly shape
- 6:17Speaker 1: our financial decisions more than our spreadsheets ever do. This
- 6:22Speaker 1: is the biggest thing I want to get to everyone
- 6:25Speaker 1: is I can give you a great retirement plan.
- 6:26Speaker 2: I can give you a great.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Everything's all settled in organized, you know exactly what's happening,
- 6:31Speaker 1: you know you're ready to return, you know how much
- 6:34Speaker 1: money you can spend, you how much money you're going
- 6:35Speaker 1: to get like all through the rest of your life
- 6:38Speaker 1: does not matter. If I do everything great as a
- 6:41Speaker 1: financial advisor and you feel bad about money inside, if
- 6:44Speaker 1: we don't deal with that, you're going to create an
- 6:48Speaker 1: issue or chaos around money. I have a client that
- 6:52Speaker 1: shares a lot of their money. They are always helping
- 6:55Speaker 1: a sibling or a niece, or a nephew. Well, that's
- 6:59Speaker 1: become part of pattern now, So they need an extra
- 7:01Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars a year to take care of family members.
- 7:05Speaker 1: That's not going to happen forever. They're not going to
- 7:07Speaker 1: have that forever. So we have to take a look
- 7:09Speaker 1: at things. So today is not about blame. Nope, it's
- 7:12Speaker 1: only about awareness. We've got to see the patterns before
- 7:15Speaker 1: we can change them. Right, and what is stopping us
- 7:18Speaker 1: from seeing the patterns?
- 7:20Speaker 2: Don't don't duo? Okay, you ready?
- 7:22Speaker 1: Fear good old fear avoidance. It's better to avoid.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Than look at it. Guilt.
- 7:28Speaker 1: We feel so guilty because we didn't start saving a
- 7:30Speaker 1: long time ago, or we spent too much on this
- 7:33Speaker 1: or that.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Shame.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It just boils down to a secret about guilt equal shame.
- 7:38Speaker 2: So we don't want to keep secret. Are we just.
- 7:40Speaker 1: People pleasing way too much? And we just have a
- 7:43Speaker 1: really really low self esteem and a low confidence around
- 7:46Speaker 1: money that we just don't really know about it. So
- 7:48Speaker 1: it's embarrassing, right, trauma? Have we experienced trauma in our life?
- 7:53Speaker 1: And trauma creates patterns that we take into our money world.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Just completely stressed out because we're so busy, and we
- 7:59Speaker 1: also have childhood conditioning, Yes we do. We created our
- 8:03Speaker 1: money beliefs in childhood. So remember the goal is not perfection.
- 8:07Speaker 1: It's only about clarity so that we can gain some control.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Self sabotaging starts emotionally. Most women don't wake up and
- 8:14Speaker 1: intentionally say today I'm going to.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Make poor financial decisions.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Instead, self sabotage usually happens quietly and emotionally. Right, we
- 8:25Speaker 1: do all those things that I just mentioned. So many
- 8:27Speaker 1: women function very highly in a lot of areas of
- 8:30Speaker 1: their life, but they're secretly carrying anxiety underneath their financial
- 8:34Speaker 1: and their financial world. And the longer we avoid something
- 8:38Speaker 1: that avoids something, the heavier it feels. And it just
- 8:42Speaker 1: gets like this great big elephant sitting on our chest.
- 8:45Speaker 1: And y'all that is not good for our health.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Right.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Stress is the number one killer in our world. I
- 8:50Speaker 1: heard somewhere I don't know exactly where, so don't quote me,
- 8:54Speaker 1: but it's just like, oh, I don't know, they equated
- 8:57Speaker 1: it to something. It was crazy, But stress is we
- 8:59Speaker 1: all know. It increases our heart rate and increases our cortisol,
- 9:03Speaker 1: increases our blood pressure, stops us from losing the weight
- 9:06Speaker 1: or releasing the weight that we don't want any longer.
- 9:08Speaker 1: And for me, it makes me snappy. I become such
- 9:12Speaker 1: a beach when I'm completely stressed out, and I know it,
- 9:16Speaker 1: and I say, okay, breathing techniques. Right, there's lots of
- 9:19Speaker 1: things that we can do. I have several episodes about
- 9:23Speaker 1: getting rid of financial stress. This also leads some people
- 9:27Speaker 1: to emotional spending. So that's one of the biggest patterns
- 9:31Speaker 1: that are hidden. So when women emotional spend, they're trying
- 9:35Speaker 1: to get some type of comfort or reward, or they're escaping,
- 9:39Speaker 1: or they're numbing out, or they're finding an identity in
- 9:43Speaker 1: the things that they're purchasing, or it's just pure entertainment
- 9:47Speaker 1: and validation that they actually have money when they go
- 9:50Speaker 1: up there and purchase things.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Sometimes we do it, we're not even realizing it.
- 9:54Speaker 1: We say things like I deserve this, I've had a
- 9:56Speaker 1: hard day, it was unfailed, I do Oh my gosh,
- 10:00Speaker 1: deal right. So, now, let me be clear, there's nothing
- 10:03Speaker 1: wrong with enjoying your money. I love my money and
- 10:07Speaker 1: I love spending my money, and I want you to
- 10:09Speaker 1: love your money too. That's not the problem. We just
- 10:12Speaker 1: need to plan for it.
- 10:13Speaker 2: That's all.
- 10:14Speaker 1: The problem happens when it becomes emotionally and you're trying
- 10:18Speaker 1: to regulate your emotions with spending and or constricting. Right,
- 10:23Speaker 1: not spending also helps you regulate the emotions, which might
- 10:27Speaker 1: not be necessary. So no purchases can help you fix loneliness, stress, burnout,
- 10:34Speaker 1: a low self esteem, a low sense of self worth,
- 10:38Speaker 1: feeling unseen, unloved, not good enough, feeling completely out of control.
- 10:43Speaker 1: There's no amount of money that's going to help you
- 10:46Speaker 1: cure that. Sorry, it's not going to happen. It might
- 10:50Speaker 1: be for the moment, but not for long term. So
- 10:52Speaker 1: often emotional highs last just less than three minutes, while
- 10:57Speaker 1: the guilt around that is going to last for days, years, months.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Like it's crazy. So people pleasing and over spending on others,
- 11:05Speaker 1: let's talk about that. The major financial sabotage for women
- 11:10Speaker 1: is when we start to people please or when we're
- 11:13Speaker 1: I'm a huge co dependent in recovery and spending on others.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Many women were conditioned to keep everyone else happy. I'm
- 11:21Speaker 1: a mom. I want to keep my kids happy. Number
- 11:24Speaker 1: one thing in my life is I want my kids happy.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I try to put myself first before that. I'm not
- 11:30Speaker 1: always successful. I'm being very successful right this moment, just
- 11:34Speaker 1: saying I just did a great thing today and said Nope,
- 11:37Speaker 1: I can't do that. This is where I'm at. You
- 11:39Speaker 1: let me know where you're at. Instead of saying, oh,
- 11:41Speaker 1: I want to take care of that for you, I
- 11:42Speaker 1: want to fix it for you, Like I really want
- 11:44Speaker 1: to do all that, but we really can't, especially when
- 11:46Speaker 1: they're adults. Right, avoid disappointing people. I don't want to
- 11:51Speaker 1: disappoint my children at all overgiving over helping rescuing others.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Do we ever want to just rescue if they have
- 11:58Speaker 1: a problem, I just want to fix it. And do
- 12:00Speaker 1: we say yes when we really mean no? Financially this
- 12:04Speaker 1: can become exhausting. We often pay for things that we
- 12:09Speaker 1: can't afford. So I know I had a client years
- 12:11Speaker 1: ago and she would take all her coworkers to lunch,
- 12:14Speaker 1: like all the time, like weekly, and pay for everyone
- 12:18Speaker 1: not two or three, but they could get up to
- 12:20Speaker 1: six or seven, and she would always pick up the tab.
- 12:23Speaker 2: And when we sat down to.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Do her cash flow, we're looking at this, I'm like, Okay,
- 12:26Speaker 1: this is a lot of money, like on a monthly basis.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I want to say it was I tak like close
- 12:31Speaker 1: to one thousand dollars, Like it was a lot of
- 12:33Speaker 1: money on a monthly basis, and she had no idea
- 12:36Speaker 1: it equated to that much. And so immediately she stopped
- 12:39Speaker 1: and she said, I would take you out on your birthday.
- 12:41Speaker 1: That's great, that one person she will pay for on
- 12:43Speaker 1: their birthday. I thought that was a great compromise. Of course,
- 12:46Speaker 1: they still went out to lunch. They still were great friends,
- 12:48Speaker 1: and they had a blast. And she had a lot
- 12:51Speaker 1: more money to do with what she wanted to do
- 12:54Speaker 1: right financially, rescuing adult children.
- 12:57Speaker 2: This is a big thing again, Code Pendant every good.
- 13:00Speaker 1: So raising adult children is difficult after COVID, they couldn't
- 13:04Speaker 1: find jobs. I mean, I feel for them. So there's
- 13:07Speaker 1: a lot of things that they can do. I mean,
- 13:09Speaker 1: I had my clients make sure that our children in
- 13:13Speaker 1: high school had their own bank accounts. They knew what
- 13:16Speaker 1: to do with money. They'd either put their allowance in
- 13:18Speaker 1: there or their jobs in there. And I know a
- 13:20Speaker 1: lot of people did not want their kids to work
- 13:22Speaker 1: until after college.
- 13:24Speaker 2: I did not do that.
- 13:25Speaker 1: My daughter worked all the way through. My sons always worked.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Like that's just me and I know I get so
- 13:31Speaker 1: much self esteem from work that I wanted them to
- 13:34Speaker 1: realize that too. And as being a single mom, I
- 13:37Speaker 1: also wanted them to have someone else tell them what
- 13:40Speaker 1: to do. So they each had a boss telling them
- 13:42Speaker 1: what to do.
- 13:43Speaker 2: It wasn't just me.
- 13:44Speaker 1: So becoming adult children and like when do we cut
- 13:49Speaker 1: their cell phone off? When do we stop paying for
- 13:50Speaker 1: their cursurance? Like it goes on and on and on forever.
- 13:53Speaker 1: So we want to make sure that we're talking about
- 13:56Speaker 1: these things. If you want to help, that's great. If
- 13:58Speaker 1: you want to help them buy a house, buy a car,
- 14:00Speaker 1: that's wonderful. But we need to talk to our adult
- 14:02Speaker 1: children stay in unhealthy dynamics.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Do you ever do that?
- 14:07Speaker 1: Like you know you're in a bad dynamic with either
- 14:09Speaker 1: or a friend or a neighbor or a coworker, and you
- 14:11Speaker 1: just keep staying because it's too hard to have that
- 14:13Speaker 1: I call a conscious conversation, Like you need to sit
- 14:17Speaker 1: down and say I feel when this happens, and next time,
- 14:21Speaker 1: I want this done and I will do this like
- 14:24Speaker 1: a basic outline of a great conversation. And if do
- 14:28Speaker 1: we avoid setting boundaries, that is all self sabotaging uscals.
- 14:34Speaker 2: We don't want to be doing that.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Underneath all of that is just a fear. What if
- 14:38Speaker 1: people get upset with you? What if people don't like
- 14:41Speaker 1: But I can promise you financial boundaries bring peace. I
- 14:46Speaker 1: promise you. I want you to be selfish. If you're
- 14:49Speaker 1: looking at this as a selfish thing, then I want
- 14:52Speaker 1: you to be selfish. I do not believe it's a
- 14:54Speaker 1: selfish thing because I'm putting the oxygen mask on me
- 14:58Speaker 1: before I can help anyone else. So I'm going to
- 15:00Speaker 1: be much better help down the road when I got
- 15:03Speaker 1: my house in order. Right. Do you avoid financial conversation?
- 15:07Speaker 1: I know it's very intimidating, and a lot of women
- 15:10Speaker 1: don't want to be an emotionally charged conversations. They just
- 15:12Speaker 1: shut down immediately. So when some women here, money is stressful.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Men handle finances better. Nice women don't talk about money,
- 15:21Speaker 1: don't ask questions. You're bad with money. We could hear
- 15:24Speaker 1: any of this growing up, right, and that becomes part
- 15:27Speaker 1: of our identity with money, which we need to restructure.
- 15:30Speaker 1: So instead of learning, a lot of women just avoid.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Avoidance is not opening statements, not just talking about money,
- 15:37Speaker 1: not planning, incurring debt and then ignoring it, not asking
- 15:42Speaker 1: what things cost handling all financial control to someone else
- 15:46Speaker 1: and you have no idea what's happening. I had a
- 15:48Speaker 1: client actually that never knew the cost of anything because
- 15:51Speaker 1: she would just buy whatever she wanted to buy. She
- 15:53Speaker 1: made good money, but when it came time to planning
- 15:55Speaker 1: for quitting work, she was like, well, where's all my money, wool,
- 15:59Speaker 1: You've been spending it all, like you know, now, time
- 16:02Speaker 1: to figure it all out, right, But we want to
- 16:04Speaker 1: do that from the get go. It's never too early
- 16:07Speaker 1: to plan, never too early to see what money is
- 16:10Speaker 1: doing in your life.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Here's the truth.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Avoidance temporarily reduces anxiety, which is very true. Unfortunately increases
- 16:18Speaker 1: long term stress. So we want clarity and we want
- 16:22Speaker 1: to make sure that we know. We don't want confusion.
- 16:25Speaker 1: We want to know what's happening with every dime in
- 16:27Speaker 1: our household, and we want to be able to plan
- 16:29Speaker 1: for every dime in our household. Right, if we're feeling
- 16:32Speaker 1: like we're undercharging or undervaluing ourselves, apologizing for our prices
- 16:37Speaker 1: and not stepping into that person that you know you
- 16:40Speaker 1: are working for these people, that's something that you need
- 16:44Speaker 1: to catch and we need to make sure that we
- 16:46Speaker 1: can create the confidence so that you can find security
- 16:49Speaker 1: choices in your money, having the freedom with your money stability,
- 16:53Speaker 1: and then you can be generous, right, and then you
- 16:55Speaker 1: can have a bigger impact. So don't wait for a rescue, y'all.
- 17:00Speaker 1: We need to do this ourselves. Don't wait for an
- 17:02Speaker 1: inheritance or a partner or settlement or just a miracle
- 17:06Speaker 1: someone else needs to fix it. Let's not wait for that.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Let's step into what we need to be doing now.
- 17:10Speaker 1: These patterns usually come from our childhood, and it comes
- 17:14Speaker 1: from our experiences, our family stress, financial instability, a divorce,
- 17:18Speaker 1: or trauma, some shame, it could be anything. So what
- 17:22Speaker 1: we learn is money creates conflict and that's just not
- 17:26Speaker 1: the way it needs to be. Some learned women shouldn't
- 17:29Speaker 1: have the power, which I totally disagree with. I want
- 17:32Speaker 1: women to have a craft down of power because we
- 17:35Speaker 1: are going to be controlling a majority of the money
- 17:37Speaker 1: in the years coming forward, because we live longer than
- 17:39Speaker 1: the men, and a lot of boomers are passing down
- 17:42Speaker 1: nice wealth portfolios. Some may be even a learned love
- 17:47Speaker 1: requires sacrifice. Well yeah, but if you ask your kids,
- 17:50Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you your kids want you to
- 17:52Speaker 1: have fun and have a good time with yourself as well.
- 17:55Speaker 1: So I want you to move for judgment to awareness.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Take a look at it. See what you're thinking and
- 18:01Speaker 1: feeling when you're spending money. Let's see where you're at. First,
- 18:04Speaker 1: are you are you self sabotaging? That's the first step.
- 18:08Speaker 1: We want to know where do we begin? Not with perfection,
- 18:11Speaker 1: just with small consistent awareness, knowing your numbers, loving your numbers,
- 18:16Speaker 1: not judgmentally, just honestly. Creating the spending plan. Check out
- 18:20Speaker 1: another episode I did on the spending plan. We want
- 18:23Speaker 1: to pause our emotional spending. Try it for thirty days.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Just don't spend anything for thirty days except for fresh groceries.
- 18:30Speaker 2: That's it.
- 18:30Speaker 1: No Amazon, no home goods, no nothing I need it,
- 18:34Speaker 1: need it no, Just pretend like you don't have it.
- 18:36Speaker 1: See what happens in thirty days and how you restructure
- 18:39Speaker 1: your brain. It's kind of like having not no sugar,
- 18:42Speaker 1: no dairy, no alcohol, nothing fattening right for thirty days,
- 18:46Speaker 1: and you do that reset with your body. We'll do
- 18:48Speaker 1: that reset with your money as well, and then practice
- 18:51Speaker 1: financial conversation.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Start chatting with.
- 18:53Speaker 1: People about money, about retirement planning or goals that they
- 18:57Speaker 1: might have you're going to see yourself in the If
- 18:59Speaker 1: you see yourself in these patterns today, you're not broken.
- 19:02Speaker 1: We got lots of stuff.
- 19:04Speaker 2: For you to fix.
- 19:04Speaker 1: You're just human and we want to change you from
- 19:07Speaker 1: chaos to clarity, from avoidance to understanding, from survival mode
- 19:11Speaker 1: to empowerment. Remember it is not about the zeros, y'all.
- 19:15Speaker 1: It's about creating a life where money supports you, your peace,
- 19:20Speaker 1: your health. And instead of having money control your emotions,
- 19:24Speaker 1: let's have emotions not be peaceful freedom, and then you
- 19:29Speaker 1: can control your money. Financial freedom is not external, it's emotional, okay, y'all.
- 19:35Speaker 1: I want you to be able to have your spending plan,
- 19:37Speaker 1: your retirement plan, your freedom plan, your feminine financial freedom plan,
- 19:42Speaker 1: and feel so empowered and love spending your money every
- 19:46Speaker 1: time you look at your spreadsheet or your Excel sheet
- 19:50Speaker 1: and you have your money date on once a week.
