I know that’s not true, but it just feels so hard to figure out investing. I know so many people are making a killing, and I kinda feel bad that I haven’t started at all, know what I mean. You’ve done so many great investing episodes; I’m curious if there’s an episode from the past that you think I should check out. You’re awesome, and I so appreciate this show for motivating me.

This episode is dedicated to the much-hated and universally loathed budget. As you can tell, I’m not a fan too. That’s because I believe that budgeting was never appropriately taught to you, so the fact that you hate budgeting isn’t your fault. It’s like a system that was set up to fail, so if you’ve never felt like you could do budgeting correctly or the numbers never work out, don't worry. In this episode, I give you permission to ditch your budget and instead learn the power of tracking your cash.

In this vault podcast episode, I chat with Mindy Weinstein, author of "The Power of Scarcity," about the role scarcity plays in our daily lives, particularly in your relationship with money. Mindy explains that scarcity is the strongest influence factor and is the unavailability of something, whether it's hard to get or simply unavailable. Scarcity plays a significant role in your money decisions, as you tend to focus on getting something that is popular or hard to obtain, even if you don't necessarily need it. Mindy shares research studies that show how scarcity affects your decision-making process at a subconscious level, which is really fascinating. We also do a deep dive into insights about how to avoid making impulsive purchases driven by scarcity. I'm very guilty of that!

What can the dying teach us about money? Turns out, it’s a lot. It’s an interesting question that, if you’re like me, you don’t think about a lot on a daily basis. Sometimes it’s even hard to imagine that one day I just won’t exist anymore. Not to get too morbid with you, but as they say, the only two truths in life are death and taxes. So, I think we can learn a lot about the role money should play in our life from someone who is dying.

In this Ask Shannah, I tackle a question from Jasmine that you might be able to relate to. "Dear Shannah, I can’t tell you know much I love this show. It has helped me immensely. In fact, when I had drinks with my friends recently I was telling them how my money situation hasn’t gotten a lot better, meaning I’m not making a lot more money, but girl, I feel a lot better about it. I used to wake up with stress sweats over money almost every night. I live in NYC and it’s expensive, like really expensive. So my question is this - I really try really hard to budget and do everything you say to do. And they help, really they do, but lately, I’ve been struggling. I feel like I’m always underestimating my expenses and then I get to the end of the month and the money that’s supposed to be there isn’t. What am I doing wrong? Any clues to help me get back on track? These last couple of years I’ve felt like I’m moving backward with my money even though I actually feel better about money. Anyway…I’d love your thoughts on this.
