120 Listener Series - This Is Why You Should Start Tracking Your Spending

For this Listener Series episode, I talk with podcast listener Scott McEachern about what tactics he uses to pay down his debt and save for his financial goals, and a big one is tracking his spending. Long description: For this Listener Series episode of the podcast, I chat with Scott McEachern who reached out to me to be on the show after being a long-time listener. Now, Scott actually works in the financial space, but personal finance is really his passion and it’s what led him to do what he does for a living. A big reason is because his dad worked as a financial planner, so he learned at a young age how to be smart with his money. And ever since then, he’s put what he’s learned into practice to live a meaningful life that focuses on being intentional with his money. He shares a number of things him and his wife do to be able to pay off their debt (they have student loans) and work towards affording their financial goals. These things include: Adding small extra payments to his student loans to pay them off quicker Buying used cars instead of brand new Renting a cheaper/smaller place instead of trying to keep up with the Jones’ Delaying starting a family until they are debt free And most importantly, tracking their spending and income regularly so there are no surprises Learn More About Scott Check out Scott’s website Follow her on Facebook Follow her on Twitter Get Access to My Resource Library I’ve got a ton of checklist, worksheets, quizzes and more to help you get your financial life together, and I’m housing them all in one place — my resource library.
