Debt Rebel Podcast: Personal Finance for Families | Break the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle

In this episode of the Debt Rebel podcast, Julian Kohlbrand interviews Ashley Malik, a health and wellness coach who specializes in anti-inflammatory nutrition.

Here are the key takeaways:

Ashley Malik is a health and wellness coach who specializes in anti-inflammatory nutrition.
She developed the "Family Fork" framework to help busy moms prioritize their own health while still feeding their families.

Hi everyone, Julian Kohlbrand here from the Debt Rebel Podcast! I'm so excited to celebrate a huge milestone – we've officially hit 1,000 downloads! This journey has been incredible, and I'm so grateful for your support.

The Power of Asking Questions

Asking questions is the best way to learn more about personal finance. It gets you actively engaged in your financial journey. There's a lot of information out there, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. Don't be afraid to question advice you hear – is it truly relevant to your situation?

Building a Budget that Works for You

The key to a successful budget is figuring out what's most important to your family. What kind of lifestyle do you envision? What are your financial goals? Start by asking yourself these questions, then build your budget around them.

Here are some listener questions I'll be tackling today:

Building an Emergency Fund: Learn how to create space in your budget to save for unexpected expenses.
Managing Allowance in a Family Budget: We'll discuss where to allocate allowance money in your budget and how to use it to teach your kids about finances.
Planning for Variable Expenses: Discover strategies for budgeting for expenses that fluctuate throughout the year, like utilities.
Affording a Mortgage: This episode goes the true cost of homeownership, helping you avoid getting in over your head.
