Description

Why does getting control of money feel like such a weight off your shoulders? In Part 3 of our Money mini-series, Tim takes you through the painstaking breakdown of his finances: line-by-line audits, subscription purges, disaster funds, bulk-buy planning, and the relief of finally having a monthly strategy.


We dig into:


  • Why a lack of control fuels money anxiety
  • How systems and habits ease the stress
  • The gaping hole in financial education — was that neglect, or design?
  • The debt spiral of credit cards, interest-only payments, payday loans
  • Why the system feels rigged, and how to fight back
  • How to actually teach kids (and yourself) money discipline


Disclaimer: We’re sharing personal experience — not financial advice. Lessons learned the hard way, and hopefully a bit of peace of mind for anyone in the same boat.
