Being broke is no joke. Living paycheck to paycheck can cause a never-ending feeling of anxiety, a delay in planning for the future, and a fear of opening the mail (bills, collection notices, ack!).
If you’re broke, can you ever fix it, for good?
On this week’s episode of Teach Me How to Money, Kristin Wong, the author of “Get Money: Live the Life You Want, Not Just the Life You Can Afford”, talks about the difference between being broke and being poor, paying your bills now, and the tiny habits that can turn your attitudes about money around for keeps.
