The Broke Generation

The light and dark of Buy Now Pay Later

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, 

Emma - in Chaos - Edwards, and Victoria ‘Fairy Bread’ Shakeshaft

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]

Embracing your personal money brand for future growth

This week we’re kicking off with the unveiling of “A Cold Day in Hell” - the official drink of the Comments Section. Listen in for our Michelin star recipe* and hacks and tips for daily living, from un-aesthetic morning routines to work lunch strategies. We’re also calling to bring back the packed school lunch for grownups, and debunking the myth that sandwiches are boring. What’s important is packing food that brings you joy and satisfaction, rather than succumbing to diet culture's restrictions, or disorganised panic spending. There are so many strategies that can make being an adult so much easier, like bulk buying and outsourcing tasks, but let us know after listening what your hacks are on our socials!
