Episode highlights:
Establish some form of financial structure for effective money management, whether it's through detailed budgeting or broader categorisation.
Allow yourself the flexibility to spend on certain indulgences within your budget, this can help maintain motivation and prevent feelings of restriction
Visualise your long-term goals and the person you want to become can make short-term sacrifices less daunting.

“[Have] some money set aside that you do not touch. Whether that is $100, whether it is $1,000, whether it is $10,000, a really good way to up your money standards and increase your commitment to what you're trying to do is getting used to having money in your possession that you do not touch."
Emma [19:54]

“Building in a break with your financial behaviour and financial goals before you feel like you need it can actually renew your motivation."
Emma [35:14]

“You need breaks from being perfect with money."

Grab an $18 green smoothie, lounge on your million-dollar sun lounge, and get comfortable as we dip our toes into the delicate balance between budget and boujie. We explore the nuances of spending habits, including the Price Per Wear/Use method and how it doesn’t apply to every purchases.

Have you experienced the social stigma associated with using vouchers or coupons, and the pressure to maintain appearances? We’re sharing personal experiences and struggles with confronting financial judgments from others. 

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to managing money. What’s important is understanding your personal values and finding a balance that aligns with your individual lifestyles - financial growth and self-awareness are ongoing processes! Let us know on socials how you balance out your boujie-ness!

Lots of love,

Balancing budget and boujie: The Comments Section with Emma + Victoria

What’s the connection between personal branding and financial management? Drawing from my own evolving personal brand, I highlight the power of aligning your money habits with your personal values. Personal branding is a holistic representation of who you are and what you stand for, extending beyond just your career and the number on your payslip.

From transforming money habits to expanding the financial window, I’m giving you some actionable strategies to take control of your financial narrative. Like with any goal, sometimes there are sacrifices you have to make, and I’m taking you through the importance of strategic sacrifice in achieving financial goals, and how you can make intentional trade-offs that resonate with your personal brand.

Have a listen and check out my Piping Hot Goal Setting Power Pack to help you along on what I’m dubbing ‘Project You’, or you can order my book, Good with Money!

Episode highlights:
Personal branding embodies your values, beliefs, and aspirations, shaping every financial decision.
My personal evolution from chaotic spender to intentional money manager.
Broadening your financial perspective to unlock new possibilities and opportunities for financial growth.

“Getting to know yourself is an act of financial empowerment."
Emma [04:32]

“The degree to which you engage with your personal brand is really just the degree to which you’re taking control of what the outcome is going to be."
Emma [20:40]

“Sacrifice is often the forgotten tool of our finances, and I think that when we are more considered and we do entertain how we can use sacrifice to accelerate where we’re going with our finances and do that in a way that is aligned with our personal money brand, we can grow."
Emma [26:16]
