Description

This week, we're spending seven days inside Shannon’s wallet, a 41-year-old teacher, mom of two, and money-minded multitasker who lives in a suburb of Washington, D.C. With summer break just beginning, Shannon uses her time off to reflect on her relationship with money, childhood financial trauma, and the emotional tug-of-war between responsible budgeting and spontaneous joy.


🎙️ In this episode, you’ll hear:



  • How Shannon and her husband manage money as teachers

  • Why she’s focused on paying off her credit cards daily, and what that’s done for her mental health

  • The role of sinking funds in keeping her finances on track (yes, even for fun things!)

  • How her childhood shaped the way she spends and saves today

  • The internal negotiations she has before “want” purchases

  • What she’s teaching her daughters about money
