The 1000 Hours Outside PodcastShow Notes
The way you spend your money can shape your life and Crystal Paine wants us to make sure it’s shaping a life we actually want. Crystal is back for the third time to talk about her new book, The 7 Habits of Financially Healthy Women. Her new book is about so much more than making a budget. Crystal shares what she learned from surveying nearly 4,000 women about their fears around money. She encourages the listener and reader to “start with what you have” and explains how tiny everyday choices compound over decades. You'll learn about why paying with cash changes the way we spend and if you hate budgets... your can call it a spending plan instead and us it as an opportunity to determine what your family values most. Listen in as they talk grocery bills, raising financially capable kids, inexpensive family adventures, and Crystal’s hilariously impressive couponing years.
