Let’s talk about money stress because it’s something all of us have experienced in our life. There’s a nasty rumor going around that if we ignore our money then all our problems will go away. OR maybe it’s that if we ignore our money we won’t have any problems. Or...
A few years ago my money situation was a disaster- and to be honest- disaster is a nice way to put it. The real talk way to put it is this: A few years ago, my money situation was a shit show. Here’s what it looked like: my bookkeeping was def not done, I was...
