    #38: Frugal love isn’t struggle love - How to Build a Relationship Without Financial Pressure

    Does spending more money really mean someone is more serious about you? In this episode, I’m unpacking the difference between frugal love and cheap behaviour, and why confusing the two can lead to unnecessary pressure, poor decisions, and performative relationships. This is not about struggle love, settling, or lowering your standards. It’s about understanding that character, consistency, and shared values matter more than flashy dates or designer gifts. We talk about social media pressure, dating expectations, frugal dates that actually deepen connection, and why peace of mind will always matter more than appearances. If you’re dating, engaged, or thinking about marriage, this episode will help you slow down, think clearly, and focus on what really lasts.

    #37: Money Conversations to Have Before Marriage (Even If It Feels Awkward)

    Money doesn’t cause problems in marriage. Unspoken expectations do. In this episode of Not Another Money Podcast, I’m talking about the money conversations couples need to have before marriage, not to kill the romance, but to protect the relationship. We go way beyond who pays on the first date and into the real stuff people often avoid: What money actually means to you Debt, spending habits, and financial reality Work, roles, provision, and expectations after kids How you each respond when money gets tight Saving, giving, values, and priorities How financial decisions are really made Most money issues aren’t about numbers. They’re about assumptions that were never said out loud. This episode isn’t about having everything figured out, being debt-free, or agreeing on every detail.It is about honesty, openness, and building a marriage that can handle real life, and not just the highlight reel. Whether you’re dating, engaged, or thinking about marriage one day, these conversations matter more than you think. Listen, reflect, and share this with someone you’re building with.

    #36: How To Save Money Without Feeling Deprived | Frugal Living Tips for 2026

    For the longest time, the word frugal has had a really bad reputation. When we hear “frugal living,” we think deprivation, scarcity, penny-pinching, and saying no to every pleasure in life. But that couldn’t be further from the truth - especially in 2026. In this episode of Not Another Money Podcast, I’m flipping the idea of frugal living on its head and sharing why I’m fully embracing it this year. Not as a form of restriction, but as a way to live more intentionally, reduce financial pressure, and align my money with what actually matters. We’ll debunk some common myths around frugality, talk about the difference between being cheap and being intentional, and explore why frugal living isn’t a sign you’re failing financially - it’s often the reason people win in the long run. I also share practical, real-life ways to be more frugal in 2026, including: creating a budget that actually reflects your values planning meals and reducing food waste shopping your home before buying new embracing second-hand without shame negotiating bills and contracts using cashback and rewards properly cutting energy costs and everyday overspending This episode isn’t about going without.It’s about needing less, stressing less, and living with more purpose. If you’ve ever felt stretched, behind, or pressured by comparison, this conversation is for you.

    #34: January Money Reset: How To Stabilise Your Finances When Money Is Tight

    In this episode of Not Another Money Podcast, Tolu Frimpong shares a realistic and compassionate approach to managing money in January when finances feel tight. Instead of focusing on big goals or “new year, new me” pressure, this episode centres on stabilising, protecting your peace, and navigating a financially heavy season with intention and honesty. Packed with practical reflections and real-life insight, this episode explores how to approach money without shame, overwhelm, or unrealistic expectations — especially at the start of the year. Key Highlights: Stabilising over thriving: Why January doesn’t have to be about big goals or dramatic change. Understanding the January squeeze: How December spending, bills, and routine changes impact finances. Looking at the numbers gently: Reviewing your finances without judgement or avoidance. One focus is enough: Choosing a single money priority instead of trying to fix everything at once. Setting money boundaries: Simple guardrails that reduce stress and decision fatigue. Tracking for visibility: Why awareness matters more than perfection when money feels tight. This episode sets the tone for a more grounded, intentional approach to money — one that values stability, clarity, and peace just as much as growth.
