That anxiety was always sort of still there, and you combine that with the fact that I'm in and out of my addiction and spending a fortune on that.
Money is a tricky topic for many, and this episode of Factory Settings doesn't shy away from its complexities. Bridget Phetasy and her co-host, Jeren Montgomery, dive into their personal experiences with financial anxiety. They start by reminiscing about their first encounters with money and how their parents' divorces shaped their financial outlooks. It's a heartfelt discussion that many will find relatable, especially when they talk about the stress of wanting to enjoy life while constantly worrying about money.
Bridget and Jeren also open up about the financial toll of their past addictions, shedding light on how much money they spent during those tough times. This episode isn't just about doom and gloom, though. The hosts discuss the importance of planning for the future now that they are married with a child, something neither of them anticipated.
They share candid thoughts on being financially dependent on others and the challenge of putting a price on your work without tying it to your self-worth. Gender roles in financial responsibility come up too, adding another layer to the conversation. The couple also tackles the daunting task of home ownership in California, offering a real-world perspective on what it's like to navigate such significant financial commitments.
The episode wraps up with practical advice on controlling what you can and setting up systems to ease financial anxiety. If you're looking for an honest, down-to-earth discussion about money, this episode is a must-listen.
