86 // Struggle with Impulse Purchases? Intentional Purchasing and Values-Based Spending Strategies with Meghan Dwyer from Money Isn’t Scary

Right now you are likely experiencing the post-holiday glow…or the post-holiday spending hangover. And even if you didn’t blow your budget in 2023, you may struggle with impulse purchases. The average American spent $151 per month on impulse purchases in 2023, or over $1800 in a year. If spending money more intentionally in 2024 is one of your goals, today’s episode with Meghan Dwyer is for you.

Meghan is a Certified Financial Planner and host of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast. After spending 15 years watching women take a passive role in the management of their money, she’s on a mission to help them stop playing small. By challenging the societal norms around women and money, Meghan aims to empower women to make money decisions out of a sense of abundance and confidence, rather than scarcity and fear. When Meghan isn’t working, she loves running, writing, and being mom to her two young boys.

On today’s episode, Meghan shares her best tips on developing a values-based spending strategy so you can go into 2024 with confidence - rather than with a bunch of stuff you wish you hadn’t bought from Amazon!
