Notes:  

Why she moved cross country and got her dream job as a trash consultant. Transitioning from full-time work to contract role and why that was a better match for her life today. Inherited money values from both parents who worked multiple jobs. The financial and emotional struggle with not having enough in her emergency fund when she needed it most. How she has started digging herself out of debt. Buying her first home, the mortgage process, VA loans, and selecting a home they can afford and still save money every month. Ideas she has for starting her own side business and how she might go back to waste. How her and her fiance have different money philosophies and how tough financial times have strengthened their relationship. Why you need to give yourself more grace as you grow up in life and develop your financial plan.
