The best takeaway I had from this podcast was the “money date” Corina sets for herself on a regular basis. I’ve always been worried I don’t really understand finance and budget, and perennially looked outwards for apps, articles and podcasts to scaffold my weakness. Corina’s simple technique to set aside time to sit with her budget and figure it out brought home to me that I need to focus inward, not outward, to address my worries. Thanks for this podcast.
