In this episode, my friend and self-taught personal finance guru, Jadyn, shares why it’s never too early (or too late) to learn how to take control of your finances. We discuss budgeting, investing, lifestyle creep, her best financial advice, our biggest financial mistakes, and much more! We also talk about the societal pressure to chase wealth and earn more, and what marriage has taught her about money.
