The Surplus Episode: Tiny Savings, Big Impact

Struggling to save with a tight budget? You’re not alone. In this short and sweet bonus episode, we tackle one of the most common questions we get: “How do I save when there’s nothing left after bills?”
From round-up apps and direct deposit tricks to mini no-spend challenges and joy-based budgeting, we’re breaking down simple, effective ways to start saving - even if it’s just $5 at a time. It’s not about building a massive balance overnight - it’s about building the habit.
Key Takeaway: You don’t have to be rich to save - you just have to start.
Perfect for anyone who’s ready to ditch perfectionism and build momentum with their money.

The Overflow Episode: Escaping the Budget Comparison Trap

In this Overflow episode we get more into being realistic with creating a budget for the life you want to live while limiting how we compare our lives to what we see on the internet.
Your budget is the foundation and game plan for every dollar of your income. Building a budget allows you to plan for how you want to spend, save, and invest your income. 
A key thing to remember is that everyone around you in your life or people you see online, won’t have the same responsibilities as you when it comes to money. You never know what someone else’s circumstances are so the best thing to do is to remember that you’re planning for your financial future.

The Income Episode: What You Earn Drives Everything

Welcome to the first episode in our 5-part podcast series on the 5 Essential Pillars of Personal Finance. At Your Money Style, we believe personal finance doesn’t have to be complicated—and that starts with understanding your income.
Your income is the foundation for everything else in your financial life. You can only spend, save, and invest based on what you earn, so let’s dive into how to make sure you’re maximizing this first—and most critical—pillar.
You can't build a budget, grow your savings, or invest wisely without understanding your income. But earning money isn’t just about bringing in cash—it’s about making sure you’re earning what you’re worth, exploring other income streams, and using that money intentionally to support your life goals.
Stay tuned as we dive deeper into each of the remaining pillars in the coming weeks!
