S2 Ep5: Fiancé Chat: How to Budget, Save...

well said syd
About this episode
SYD & JORDAN <3
THIS IS FOR MY MONEY ANXIOUS FRIENDS OUT THERE. Jordan jumps on to help Syd discuss the elephant in most people’s relationships… MONEY. Let’s stop pretending we don’t know our credit card debt and start facing it head first, by learning from what they’ve learned & the mistakes they have ALSO made.

It’s only scary until you know how to budget, when to save, and when it’s GOOD or BAD debt. Thankfully, Jordan has taught Syd a thing or two when she’s thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel.

The two also speak to when it is the right time for a money conversations with your significant other & how they plan to change our finances when they get married. It doesn’t need to be scary, looming, or uncomfortable to talk about the money stuff.

CALL SYD’s this week include:
  • A BF’s gift from an older female coworker
  • How do I handle not inviting all my family to my wedding?
  • A hidden phone folder with screenshots of my best friends “spicy” instagram pics
  • When is the right time to say I love you? Is 7 months too late?
This is not an episode giving financial advice, but speaking from experiences with money. Syd & Jordan are not financial experts. A financial expert will join the pod in upcoming episodes. (Previously Straight Candid Podcast)
