Buy What You Love Without Going Broke | Jen Smith
Full episode show notes at thefishow.com/jen2
One of the questions we get asked most often is for guidance on what someone should and should not spend money on.
The answer is always... it depends.
What's important to me, may not be important to you.
Jen Smith is here to give everyone the framework to make those tough decisions.
This framework is called Value Based spending.
Jen lays it all out in her new book, "Buy What You Love Without Going Broke".
Long-term listeners may remember Jen from episode 58, "Frugality without Deprivation," in 2019.
She's also still rocking things over at the Frugal Friends Podcast.
In today's episode as we discuss the book you'll find answers to the following:
- Why is it so hard to stop spending money?
- What is values-based spending and how is it different?
- What’s the problem with telling someone a budget will solve their spending problem?
- What’s the point of learning values-based spending when the bigger issue is that we don’t earn enough money?
And so much more.

    I am happy that she is pursuing her passion but every time we see teachers and doctors and healthcare professionals drop out of the working pool to do real estate we already know it will put our society and our children in disadvantage compared to other counties. I wish we had a society in which teachers and healthcare providers and public servants were compensated above real estate professionals. Proper taxation will fix that but no one wants to talk about it. Sad for the country but she is killing it and I am so happy for her. Great job you all

    Hey I have seen your UA-cam channel, your videos are not SEO, they are not reaching the target audience. That's why no reach, no view, and subscribers are not increasing, because of that, no views are coming. The only solution to this is that your channel doesn't have enough SEO

    Hi bro! I have thoroughly analyzed all the videos of your UA-cam channel. Every video of yours is very good and beautiful! But no subscribed view of your channel is increasing because your video is not SEO properly, if every video of your is SEO then subscription,view will increase slowly. Can i assist you in making your channel better? Thank you.

    The application is brilliant. I just started using it and realize that it covers almost everything I need. The only comment is that for Canadian retirement, you have options to take CPP and OAS between the ages of 60 and 70, and it would be great if this tool allowed you to see what the financial differences were, by selecting the age, you take these Canadian retirement incomes. I am an engineer and developed many tools over the years for supporting aerospace aircraft programs and appreciate the value of modeling.

    How do you find these deals? Do you have a real estate agent hunt for you? How do you draw up contracts and all that? I'm still watching this video and this is my first one. I'll check out the others. Hopefully there is simply far less mystery to this than I thought.

  • @farolito74
    @farolito74 Рік тому

    Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to get into this myself. I'll be 50 next year and ever since I was a young teenager, I've seen real estate as something that is done (even bought a Carlton Sheets course) but never pulled the trigger. Now I'm regretting it. But even so, it's never too late. I'm hoping your videos will provide concrete examples. Keeping an eye on this space.
