How Saving Money Actually Saves You in the Long Run (Ep 83)
What does it really cost to not have savings? Spoiler: a lot more than you think, unfortunately!
In this episode of the Mind & Money Podcast, Sherry (Financial Coach) and Val (Financial Planner) dive into how being broke keeps you stuck in expensive financial cycles, like renting appliances for decades, taking on high-interest loans, or buying “cheap” items that wear out too quickly.
But it’s not just about numbers. Emotions, shame, and avoidance play a huge role in financial decisions, especially for ADHDers. We share examples of how this may be impacting you and some steps to help you start to shift things!
Break free from the “broke cycle”
Build a savings buffer (even if you’re starting small)
Reduce stress and financial shame
Stabilize cash flow and decision-making
Move from avoidance to clarity and confidence
Key Takeaway: Saving money isn’t just about having cash set aside; it’s what protects you from falling deeper into debt.
👉 Listen now, and start shifting from “I’m a financial mess” to “I’m in control of my money.”
