The disease of compulsive spending isn't a joke. I would maintain that you absolutely do have a higher power, but right now it's the voice of the compulsive spending god convincing you that you'll die if you don't buy that next item.
Imagine being buried under a mountain of debt and feeling like there's no way out. In this episode of 'I Can't Stop Spending!', Susan B. opens up about her journey from compulsive spender to financial freedom. She starts by expressing her heartfelt wishes for those affected by hurricanes Irma and Harvey, showing her compassionate side before diving into the meat of the episode.
Susan shares a touching letter she wrote to a friend struggling with the same addiction, emphasizing the importance of having a higher power to combat the 'spending god' that haunts many. She doesn't just stop at sharing her story; Susan offers practical advice that has helped her pay off over $34,000 in credit card debt. One of her key tools? A virtual envelope system called YNAB (You Need A Budget), which she swears by for keeping spending in check.
But it's not just about the tools; Susan delves into the emotional challenges of living within one's means and the fear many have when dealing with numbers. She talks about the importance of a spending plan and how to develop one that works for you. Susan's candid discussion includes her own experiences and changes she's made to improve her financial health. Her story is not just about numbers; it's about courage, hope, and the will to change.
Whether you're drowning in debt or just want to get a better handle on your finances, Susan's journey offers valuable insights and practical tips. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and how you can too.
