You've heard the dreaded B word. Budget. Maybe you've never found one that actually sticks or maybe you're the opposite, and you feel pretty on top of your money already. Either way, this episode is going to shift how you see it.
I first found Mike Michalowicz back in 2019 when I read Profit First, and it completely changed how I manage the finances here at The Pink Bee. So when his newest book, The Money Habit, came out, I devoured it. This one applies those same principles to home finances, which means you'll love it even if you're not an entrepreneur.
One of my favorite parts of this conversation is when Mike and I realized his money system works exactly like the way our community already plans their time. Turns out the thing that finally makes your money make sense is treating your bank account like your calendar.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
Why traditional budgets set you up to fail before you even start, and what Mike says to build instead.
The number of hours a day the average person spends worrying about money, backed by a 2025 study that genuinely stopped me in my tracks.
The system Mike uses to take money out of one confusing pile and give it the same at-a-glance clarity your calendar has.
The one word swap that changes whether you stay buried in debt or actually dig your way out.
Where to start if the whole thing feels like too much, because you do not have to do it all at once.
