Hello, my name is Tiffany, and welcome to the podcast, Working on Amazing.

This is a podcast where we talk about the work that it takes to rebuild an amazing life.

And I use that word rebuild specifically, because we're designed for women who are middle-aged and feel like they're starting over.

Not every woman experiences that, but if you are, you're not alone.

A lot of things can lead you to the point where it feels like starting over, it could be a divorce, it could be the death of a spouse, it could be a lot of different things.

All I know is that when all your plans, all your hopes, all your dreams for the future have totally gone up in smoke, and it feels like you have to start over, and that really is an itchy, bad, overwhelming feeling.

But like I said, you are not alone.

There are countless other women who have gone through this, and come out on the other side better for it.

And that's why we're talking about it in this podcast.

So you're actually in the right place.

Welcome.

I'm so glad that you're here.

If you'll remember, in my first podcast, I talked about the five areas I focused on when I rebuilt my life, and each episode falls under one of those categories, right?

So I focused on my spiritual health, I focused on my mental health, my physical health, my financial health and growth and goals.

So today's episode is going to be about financial health.

And this actually is going to be a two-part series, okay?

As we're talking about finances, finances are so important, and they can make you have a really itchy season in your life when your finances are just in the tank, right?

Like, it feels horrible to live paycheck to paycheck.

It feels horrible to not feel like you're in control of the money, that the money is controlling you.

So I feel like it's so important to get a handle on our finances and figure out a way that works for us that we can win with our finances, especially as women.

It just is imperative that we figure this out.

So what I want to talk about today is ways to save money.

Because a lot of times we're in that rut where I use every bit of money I have.

All my bills are taken up with all my income, right?

Like I don't have any left over.

So the two parts today, I'm going to talk about ways to save money.

How can we save?

How can we spend less?

And then the second part is going to be ways to earn more, right?

Because if we want to win with money, we have to spend less than we make.

So let's just come up with different ideas and spitball some ideas with each other about how to spend less and save money, and then how to little creative ways, different things we can do to earn extra money so that we can get over this hump where it feels like we're living paycheck to paycheck.

So we can get over this hump where it feels like we don't have enough to make ends meet and get to the other side where things are better.

So it's going to be a combination of spending less, right?

And saving money.

And you may be earning more, OK?

Because we really want to get a good emergency fund.

We want to pay down our debt and have a good emergency fund.

And when you have that money in savings, mentally, it feels so much better to know that you just have that to fall back on if the car were to mess up, if something horrible were to happen, you have that money to help cover your bills and expenses.
