Having an unhealthy relationship with money could inhibit long-term personal wealth. You might feel as if being in debt means you can't have any fun, and that money should only go toward paying off bills. That is not only limiting, but unrealistic. Everything in life becomes about avoiding temptation, instead of looking at healthy and practical ways to spend and save. But there is hope...
"The Budgetnista" Tiffany Aliche sits down with financial therapist, Aja Evans, for a discussion where money meets mental health. Financial therapy combines advice and emotional support, helping people manage financial stress which negatively impacts their family, work, and all other aspects of their lives. Evans explains that "the thing about financial therapy is that it really doesn't matter how much money you make. Okay. Some people could be millionaires and they're doing great, but still have these feelings of financial trauma of, 'Oh my God, am I gonna make my bills? Is this gonna be okay? Can I provide for myself or my family?' And that stress really kind of shifts our perception of what is safe and what's not."
Tiffany Aliche creates a space to share real and inspiring money stories, learn financial fundamentals, and build your future. Step into the classroom with Money Glow Up with Tiffany Aliche—aka The Budgetnista—to jump-start your financial journey.
