I Don't Do Budgets‪.‬ Sierra Howard

Welcome to I Don’t Do Budgets! You may be wondering harpo who dis woman!? Well in this introduction episode I talk about how I graduated from college and got my first “big girl salary job” and was living paycheck to paycheck because I didn’t really learn how to properly manage money growing up. I’m gone say it again for the people in the back: I was living paycheck to paycheck with a SALARY job!
Listen to the episode to find out how I stopped living paycheck to paycheck, started teaching others how to manage their money, and how I Don’t Do Budgets was born.

So I know there are people out there in the world like me who hate the “B” word… Budget. I’ve tried using budgets more than once but I would always end doing a budget for 2-3 months back and would eventually go back to my bad money habits. I ALWAYS felt like I was on a restricted money diet. Budgets just didn’t work for your girl. After figuring out budgets didn’t work for me, I developed my own unique strategies that I’ve personally found more effective while still allowing me to work towards financial freedom.
Listen to this episode to find out The 3 Things I Do INSTEAD of Budgets.

Do you wish there was someone around before you went to college to teach you how to AVOID student loans?
That’s exactly what guest, Candy Pambu started a business doing. Candy is a math teacher by day and college prep coach by evening. She works with students as early as 8th grade to get them ready for college by creating an academic AND financial plan for them to get into the college of their choice while avoiding debt. She got her Bachelor’s from North Carolina State University (go Wolfpack!) and Master's degree from Johns Hopkins University, and graduated with no student loans. I don't mean she paid them off... I mean she’s NEVER taken out a loan for school!
