Are you a neat freak, or do you prefer to simply wing it? Here’s a thought exercise: How would you feel if your partner said, “We’re going to The Container Store!”?

But last I checked, they didn’t have anything specific to organize your personal finances. That’s why we're lucky enough to be joined by the woman behind The Organized Money, Alaina Fingal. The Organized Money is an incredible resource – it’s a site, a blog, and Alaina creates a ton of videos on YouTube where she has nearly 200,000 subscribers. Her goal is to help folks build wealth by organizing their money. As a certified financial coach and author, Alaina is on a mission to help folks find financial peace by utilizing different systems that work for them. We discuss how Alaina developed her organizational prowess, going with analog strategies to help you stay on target, how her weekly meeting keeps her from busting her budget, organizing your time, and much more during today’s episode.
