Hey Friend,
This episode is going to reveal to you what your true financial goals are. Most think of financial goals as saving money, going on vacation, paying off debt, buying big ticket items and creating emergency funds, but there is so much more to it and it’s the little hidden financial goals that you don’t know you have that make you feel restricted.
So go cuddle up with a nice warm drink, get comfy with them babies and open your heart to God as we settle into today’s episode.

Hey Mama,
Welcome to the last episode of 2024 on the one income family podcast. This year has flown by and so much has happened and that is why I decided to do a 2024 goal review. It’s important to know where we’ve been, what we’ve achieved, what has changed and where we want to go this next year. Goal setting is so important in order to stick to your budget to have something that fuels you through, to have an end to what you are doing so that you don’t become burnt out or complacent in the life you are budgeting for. Which is why I wanted to walk you through last year's goals so that you can see the impact they made on my budget and financial journey.
So go cuddle up with a nice warm drink, get comfy with them babies and open your heart to God as we settle into today’s episode.

Hey Mama,
I know what it’s like to get to the end of the Christmas season only to find out that you’ve already spent all of your Christmas budget. Which is so EASY to do! Especially if you’re like me and you want to make sure that everyone gets a gift and feels loved by you. Or you want your Children to be involved and so you let them buy Christmas gifts for everyone as well, meaning you're buying two gifts for everyone.
As we head into the last week before Christmas when we tend to start running low on Christmas funds, I wanted to keep your spirits up and bring you a few things you can do so that you can get those last minute items without having to reach for that credit card.
So go cuddle up with a nice warm drink, get comfy with them babies and open your heart to God as we settle into today’s episode.
