In this episode, I sit down with Jessie Leong, known as howifundthis on Instagram, to explore a common yet often overlooked financial struggle - money anxiety and the fear of spending. We discuss the challenges of hoarding money for security and how it affects those who identify more as savers rather than spenders. Jessie shares her personal journey, from growing up with the mindset of saving for a rainy day to grappling with the discomfort of parting with money. Together, we break down how to build a healthier, more balanced relationship with money, allowing for financial freedom without fear, shame, or anxiety.

Episode highlights:

• Strategies to overcome money anxiety and scarcity mindset.
• The emotional challenges of being a natural saver.
• How to find balance between saving and spending.
