Episode 2923:

Jessica challenges conventional money advice, like the 50/30/20 rule, as ineffective for high-achievers. Instead of following one-size-fits-all budgeting models, she suggests decluttering financial priorities and creating personalized guidelines that align with individual goals and seasons of life. This approach helps achievers build a financial plan that truly supports the life they desire.

Quotes to ponder:

"You cannot build the life you want using someone else's rules."

"Eliminating overwhelm is always the first step."

"Your budget line items will drive your actions and subsequent habits and routines."
