About this episode

This week listeners want to know: how can a couple budget for the holidays when one person wants to put a lid on spending and the other person is offended by this? Where to park savings for a downpayment - savings or stocks? How to live it up in an expensive city and save at the same time? And how can a person with ADHD get a better handle on spending and budgeting?

Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand. Early bird registration is now open!
