Description

It's no secret that money has its hands in our marriages, families, and time. After paying off 30k in debt, I thought I had it figured out. But 2020 unleashed chaos. After quitting my job as a nurse, I found myself a stay at home parent supporting my oldest in remote school. We lost a total of 46k in wages alone. I started learning more about how to build wealth and came across the FIRE community. Long story short, we ended up investing more money in 2021 than ever before. I'll talk side hustles, Network Marketing scams, saving for your kids' futures, and much more with knowledgeable guests. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/momisonfire/support

The Multi- Level Attack on Moms

2021/12/15

If you're a mom then you're not immune to "Hey Hun" messages bombarding your inbox just weeks after bringing home your baby. Without paid parental leave, the idealistic plans you had in place before having a child might've left you vulnerable and at times, maybe desperate. But beware because Multi- Level Marketing companies claim to be the solution to your challenges in finding child care and regaining your sense of self, all while profiting billions on these insecurities. Protect your financial health and stay away from MLMs. Sources for this episode are below: FTC: https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/public_comments/trade-regulation-rule-disclosure-requirements-and-prohibitions-concerning-business-opportunities-ftc.r511993-00008%C2%A0/00008-57281.pdf AARP: https://www.aarp.org/content/dam/aarp/aarp_foundation/2018/pdf/AARP%20Foundation%20MLM%20Research%20Study%20Report%2010.8.18.pdf --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/momisonfire/support

The Zero- Based Budget

2021/12/08

The zero- based budget is what I used to pay off $30,000 in debt and how I continue to meet my financial goals. I talk about goal setting strategies to assist with the wealth building curiosity you already have in you. I also go over how I prioritize my expenses and easy ways to increase you income and lower your expenses without major life changes.

A Mom's Christmas Story

2021/12/01

*WARNING: I advise you not to listen around kids, especially those that still believe in Santa Clause!* Just because it's what the "average" family does does NOT mean that's what SHOULD be done. Free yourself from the mom guilt that's tied to the holiday season. Identify marketing traps guilting you into overspending and overconsumption and how to save for Christmas in a crunch. I'll tell you how I save throughout the year and how I plan to avoid overwhelming myself this season with a long, never ending Christmas list. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/momisonfire/support
