Sober Savings: How Jes and Kate Turned Sobriety into Financial Success
I feel confident, I have more self-esteem. I'm not judging anyone who has, but like I, you know, I had a friend. How can I- yeah, you know what I mean- work on my resume this weekend because I'm not drunk and I'm not hungover and I can apply for new jobs, or I can get a second job because I'm not going out as much anymore.
Talking about money can be awkward, but in this episode of 'Seltzer Squad', Jes and Kate dive right in. They open up about their personal experiences with finances before and after getting sober. Spoiler alert: it's a game-changer. Before sobriety, both hosts struggled with budgeting. Nights out and alcohol drained their wallets, leaving little for savings or other essentials. Jes even admits she didn't keep track of her spending on substances, which often went hand-in-hand with her drinking.
Sobriety flipped the script. With alcohol out of the picture, Jes and Kate found they had more money to work with. They redirected their funds toward more fulfilling and productive expenses. Jes even managed to work fewer days a week, thanks to increased productivity and focus. But the benefits didn't stop at saving money. Sobriety also boosted their self-esteem and confidence, empowering them to ask for raises and explore new job opportunities.
Jes shares that she would never have felt comfortable asking for a raise if she hadn't been on her sobriety journey. This episode isn't just about dollars and cents; it's about how getting sober can positively impact every facet of your life, including your financial health. Jes and Kate's stories remind us that sobriety can lead to better budgeting, increased self-worth, and even new career paths.
If you're looking for inspiration to take control of your finances, this episode is a must-listen.
