169. The Only Money Rule I'm Following Between Christmsa and New Year's

* This podcast is NOT financial advice. It's simply for educational purposes.*
Merry Christmas!
I know you're probably ankle deep in wrapping paper, ribbon and bows but I hope this podcast episode is just the message you need to hear in this season. 
Before you jump into mapping out your entire financial plan for the New Year, listen to this episode where I share the money rule I give myself for the week between Christmas and New Year's. 
In this episode I mention: 
- The Cozy Cash Plan if you need more support with creating, or revamping your spending plan for 2026.  It's $7 through the end of the year but in January the price is going up so make sure you grab it in December if you've been meaning to get it.  
There will be a lot more coming soon including something NEW for the New Year, but for now, enjoy this season with your families!

I'm rolling out a NEW 3 part series called "If I Were You: Mom Money Strategies For 2026 and each week I'll be sharing what I would focus on if I were a stay-at-home mom, a side hustling/part-time working mom, or a full time working mom  in this next year when it comes to money goals. 
In this final episode we're talking to the moms who work full time. How to make sure the money you're working hard to make is working equally as hard for you and your family.
In this episode I mention: 
- The Money Mindful Moms Club  In December we'll be going even further into our 2026 plans so you can join us if you'd like to get access to the private podcast, classes and other resources the girlies in the club get.
If you missed the other episodes for Stay-at-home-moms and moms who work side hustles or part time, you can go back and listen to those now.  They're the two episodes leading up to this one.  
And while you're at it, be sure to share these episodes with your mom friends.  We call could use a little encouragement for where we're at.

161. LIVE WORKSHOP: How to decide what sinking funds your family needs, AND how to make sure you can actually fund them

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Hi friends!
Do you ever feel like things that don't quite fit into the emergency category but also aren't really monthly expenses are derailing your progress each month?
hello car registration, back-to-school, annual registration fees, etc. 
Sinking funds can help!  Sinking funds are accounts where you put a small amount of  money aside each month for a specific purpose so it's there when you need it.  
This week in the Money Mindful Moms Club, we had a live workshop where we got together with the purpose of figuring out what sinking funds our families needed to prioritize and how we were going to make that a priority in our budget.  
If you've been curious about what it's like to be in the Money Mindful Moms Club, this is a small part of our conversation from that workshop.  
I hope it helps you as you work on getting your own sinking funds set up.  
We're saving a spot for you in the club!
