    Ep. 141 How to Save Money for Something You Want (Without Feeling Deprived)

    Most money talks revolve around saving for a rainy day, paying down debt or investing.  Today though, we are diving into something different, dreaming with your money!  What about saving your money for something you actually WANT? Today, we're talking about one of my favorite parts of managing money: dreaming with your money and saving for something fun — without going into debt. I remember taking my kids to the county fair and having to watch every dollar we spent because there was only so much money available. One of my dreams was to someday take them to the fair, let them go on every ride, play the games, eat the food, and enjoy the entire day without worrying about how much everything cost. Thankfully, that day did come. And that's what I want for you, too. Whether you're saving for a vacation, an elegant dinner out, a fun new outfit, routine massages, or another experience you've been dreaming about, you can create a simple savings plan that allows you to enjoy your money without the stress or debt that can come with it. In this episode, you'll learn: How to save money for something you want without feeling deprived A simple, no-stress way to save for fun purchases and experiences How to make saving automatic so you barely miss the money Why identifying what you truly want can help you become more confident with money How giving your savings a purpose can make managing money more exciting Why dreaming with your money can be one of the most fun parts of your finances You don't have to choose between being responsible with your money and enjoying your life. You can save for the future AND save for the things that make your life abundant today. Scripture verse: Ecclesiastes 3:12-13   "I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man." Takeaway: You actually can save up for something fun!

    Ep. 140 Invest for retirement or take the vacation? That is the question.

    In this episode, I'm sharing tips and tools on how to balance both vacationing and investing for retirement.  When both of these things hold value, which should you focus on? You'll learn: The first place to start when planning your retirement Why deciding what you want your future to be like is the first step in aligning your finances to it Four questions to ask before booking that trip so you know your money is going to the right place Why having a professional financial advisor is key to making this work well Scripture verse: Luke 14:28 "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?" Takeaway: You don't have to choose between enjoying your life today and preparing for the future.  You can make a plan that allows you to do both.

    Ep. 138 High-Yield Savings Accounts: What They Are & When to Use Them

    Is your savings actually working for you? In this episode of Living Your Abundant Life, I break down high-yield savings accounts in simple terms—what they are, when they make sense & how they can help you earn more on money you already have sitting in savings. In this episode: What a high-yield savings account is When it makes sense to use one How much you may want to keep in savings vs. invest Why short-term savings goals can be a great fit for a HYSA What to look for when choosing an account Fees, minimum balances and other fine print to watch for Why I use and recommends Ally Bank Your money doesn't have to just sit there. Even your savings can be working for you. Takeaway: If you have money sitting in a traditional savings account, take a few minutes this week to check the interest rate you're earning and compare it with a high-yield savings account.

    Ep. 137 Where is My Extra Money Going??? How to Stop Spending More as You Earn More

    You're making more money… so why does it still feel like you have no idea where it's going? In this episode, I'm sharing what changed for my husband and me when our income increased—and how we learned to be more intentional with the money God had given us. We'll talk about giving your extra income an assignment, balancing enjoying life today with planning for tomorrow, and deciding what actually matters to YOU—not just what makes sense mathematically. If your income has grown but your savings, debt payoff, or financial peace hasn't grown with it, this episode is for you. In this episode, we'll talk about: Why making more money doesn't automatically mean getting ahead financially How to decide whether your extra money should go toward savings, debt, or investing Why enjoying your money NOW belongs in your financial plan too How to give your extra income an assignment before your lifestyle spends it for you Why praying over your money can help you decide what God is calling you to do with it "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." — Luke 16:10 NIV Takeaway: Your extra money needs an assignment. Otherwise, your lifestyle will find a place for it.  Most likely, without your liking.

    Ep. 136 Why You're Unable to Change Your Money Habits (It's Not Lack of Willpower)

    Why do you keep falling back into the same money habits—even when you know what to do? The answer probably isn't a lack of discipline. It might be your beliefs. In this episode of the Living Your Abundant Life Podcast I share why your financial behavior is directly connected to what you believe about yourself. If you've ever thought... "I'm just bad with money." "I'll never get out of debt." "I don't have what it takes." "Financial peace just isn't for me." ...this episode is for you. Jennifer shares her own story of overcoming limiting beliefs, how God transformed the way she viewed herself, and practical ways you can begin replacing fear and self-doubt with truth. In this episode you'll learn: - Why belief comes before financial behavior - How your money mindset shapes your financial decisions - Why celebrating small wins builds lasting confidence - How to replace limiting beliefs with God's truth - Why your environment and daily inputs matter more than you realize - Practical ways to grow your belief in yourself and your financial future Whether you're paying off debt, building savings, or simply longing for more peace around money, this episode will encourage you to believe that lasting change is possible. Scripture verse: Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in abundance for us to do." Takeaway: Belief comes before financial behavior.  Resources & Links Subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode: Living Your Abundant Life Podcast Connect with me on Instagram: @jenpiala Get your FREE Money Clarity Check-In guide here.

    Ep. 135 Why You're Stressed About Finances (It's not actually about money)

    Are you overwhelmed by money, even though you make a good income? Maybe you've tried budgeting apps, spreadsheets, or promised yourself that this will be the month you finally get your finances under control. Yet the financial stress keeps coming back. In this episode of the Living Your Abundant Life Podcast, I share why the real problem isn't your income—it's the uncertainty that comes from managing your money without a clear, simple plan. You'll discover: Why financial stress isn't really about money The surprising connection between your money mindset & your subconscious beliefs How your thoughts shape your financial decisions Why clarity is the first step toward financial confidence A simple way to stop feeling overwhelmed and start creating peace with your finances If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same money habits, this episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface—and how to begin creating lasting change with God at the center. Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." Takeaway: Your financial plan is only as strong as what you believe is possible.  Resources & Links Subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode: Living Your Abundant Life Podcast Connect with me on Instagram: @jenpiala Get your FREE Money Clarity Check-In guide here.
