There's no more ordering doordash twice a week or eating out all the time or whatever. If I don't know how much I have, I can just kind of keep spending until I make a mistake.
Money can be a tricky subject, especially when you're navigating life without substances. In this episode of 'The Uncharted Spirit', Emily and Vincent tackle the often-overlooked topic of financial management in recovery. Aptly titled 'Did You Save?', this episode dives into the nitty-gritty of saving, spending, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. Emily opens up about her own financial missteps, sharing how a lack of awareness about her spending led to some costly mistakes.
'There's no more ordering takeout twice a week or eating out all the time. If I don't know how much I have, I can just keep spending until I make a mistake', she admits. Vincent and Emily also discuss the importance of having a savings account, a lesson they both learned from their parents. They reflect on how these habits have been a lifesaver during emergencies but also touch on the emotional toll of dipping into those savings.
'When you have to spend money out of it to do things, I get so upset when I'm like I have to reach into my savings for this', Vincent shares. The episode doesn't just stop at traditional money management tips. The hosts also explore the concept of trading goods and services as an alternative way to manage finances. Plus, they emphasize the idea of 'progress, not perfection'—a mantra that can be applied to both financial and personal growth.
With their usual blend of humor and raw honesty, Emily and Vincent make this episode both informative and relatable. Whether you're in recovery or just looking for practical financial advice, 'Did You Save?' offers valuable insights wrapped in heartfelt stories.
