About this episode

With all the craziness we’ve experienced in our world recently, whether that was because of school shutdowns or rising prices due to inflation, it’s tempting to believe that we’re no longer in the driver’s seat. But our guest today, Kumiko Love, who is also known as the Budget Mom, wants you to know that you have more control over your life than you realize. Her new book “My Money My Way” comes out next month, where she helps readers identify a uniquely personal plan that you’ll stick with, which will allow you to crush your money goals. For Kumiko, one of those milestones she achieved was paying off over $77,000 of debt in just 8 months early on in her financial journey and she also recently purchased her dream home with cash! During this episode she shares how you can take the experience and principles she learned, in order for you to take back control of your financial life.
