Everybody’s Bad With Money Beyond The Green

I'm your host, the Budget Mom AJ Schneider, here with my fantastic coach, Leah. We're peeling back the veil on the hidden costs of weddings and how to navigate them without losing your mind or your savings.
From laser hair removal to the perfect dress, we've got the inside scoop on managing those 'other' wedding costs. Leah's here to share her journey and insights, making sure your walk down the aisle doesn’t turn into a financial stumble. You might only be thinking about the flowers and dress, but there's a lot of prep when it comes to weddings. From workouts, trainers, juices, and facials. It adds up and we want to make sure you're considering ALL of it.

I remember when I started saving I was so excited by an account that offered 1% interest. I thought I had it made. Then I watched it go down and down and got sad. But today I literally cannot believe how good HYSA accounds are. I’ve teamed up with Raisin to share the BEST accounts on the market. Raisin partners with community banks and credit unions to find the most competitive products on the market and they are not disappointing. Right now you can get a HYSA for 5.3% and a 6 month CD for 5.7%. We recently had a client move her money from Wells Fargo to Raisin and went from making literally pennies to $416 in one month. I KNOW!

Alea Lovely, a Spiritual Advisor, joined the podcast. She is known for her Oracle Readings, podcasts, public speaking, and YouTube content​​. Alea shared her journey from a Christian background to exploring various philosophies and spirituality. She talks about her podcasts "Spiritual Shit" and her new podcast "The Pursuit of Magic"​​. She discussed the transformation in her life over six months, going from being single with no job to finding significant success and personal happiness​​.
Alea elaborated on her approach to manifestation, introducing the "Imagine Method", which includes steps like Inception, Manifestation, Anti-Belief, Growth, Integration, and Notice​​.She emphasized the importance of noticing synchronicities and signs that affirm you're on the right path​​.
Our discussion touched on the idea of 'expansion' after achieving goals and the continuous desire for more. Alea stressed the importance of aligning goals with personal values and not just chasing happiness​​. Alea and the host discussed identifying what constitutes a 'good life' for individuals, emphasizing the need for clarity on personal priorities and values​​.
One of my favorite areas was the focus on the importance of financial security and setting boundaries, both in personal life and in relation to money​​. Alea shared her perspectives on not wanting to rely on others for financial security and the importance of creating one's own security​​. The conversation addressed challenges within the spiritual community regarding money and finances, including the conflicting views on money and success​​. And so much more.

New moons offer us an opportunity to dream. It allows us to plant seeds of trust that if we are willing to step into the discomfort of uncertainty, we will be rewarded. #truth
 
It might be difficult to prioritize one's dreams right now when family obligations, travel, and the pressures of short-term needs feel bigger than our long-term dreams.
 
But you matter MORE than the sacrifices you make to keep others happy if those sacrifices come at your expense (financial, emotional, or physical). How can you remind yourself of that this holiday season?
 
Learn more about your relationship to you, the stars, and your money this Scorpio season and dive into my second favorite ritual outside of Budgeting - New Moon journaling.
