I'm excited to kick off a special podcast series focusing on financial spring cleaning! Today, we're diving into a topic on everyone's mind this time of year – tax refunds.
Whether you've already filed your taxes or are still putting the pieces together, it's essential to think strategically about your tax refund. Putting your tax refund towards debt might feel good temporarily, but it's not a long-term solution. If it were effective, you wouldn't be back in the same debt cycle year after year. You need a better plan, and I'm here to guide you through it!
In this episode, I outline four ways you can leverage your tax refund to set yourself up to meet your money goals in 2024. From how to create a zero-based budget to planning for upcoming expenses to investing in money management tools, I give you detailed, actionable steps to help you make real progress managing debt. (Hint - none involve paying off a credit card with your tax refund!) If you are ready to break the debt cycle and change how you think about and manage your finances, tune in to learn how your tax refund can be the first step toward achieving financial freedom.
