Join us live this morning for Spending Made Easy on Podcast City Radio, Business and Lifestyle Network with host Ron Fiedler, co-host and resident expert Samantha Boardman from Spending Made Easy, and special in-studio guest Carol Buchanan from Moveon Counselling.

Today’s topic is:

💰 MONEY MINDSET
Why how we think and feel about money matters

Money is not just about numbers, bills, budgets, spending plans, income, and expenses.

For many people, money can bring up stress, overwhelm, guilt, fear, avoidance, shame, pressure, and even conflict in relationships.

This morning, Ron, Samantha, and Carol will be talking about the emotional side of money and how our mindset can influence the way we spend, save, avoid, react, and make financial decisions.

We’ll be talking about:

✅ Money stress and overwhelm
✅ Spending habits and emotions
✅ Why people avoid looking at their finances
✅ Emotional spending
✅ Money beliefs and old patterns
✅ How a spending plan can bring clarity and control
✅ Building a healthier money mindset

This is such an important conversation for anyone who has ever felt anxious, confused, stuck, or overwhelmed when it comes to money.

Join us this morning for Spending Made Easy with host Ron Fiedler from Podcast City Radio, Business and Lifestyle Network, and co-host and resident expert Samantha Boardman from Spending Made Easy.

Today’s episode is:
💰 How Is Everyone Coping Financially Right Now?

With the current state of the financial world, the rising cost of living, and everyday expenses putting more pressure on households, families, couples, individuals, and business owners it’s no wonder so many people are feeling stretched when it comes to money.

This morning, Ron and Samantha will be talking about how people are coping with their finances, budgeting, and spending plans right now.

We’ll also be discussing the different ways people manage their money, including:
✅ Spreadsheets�
✅ Budgeting apps�
✅ Writing everything down�
✅ Notebooks and diaries�
✅ Tracking spending�
✅ Creating a realistic spending plan�
✅ Finding a system that actually works for real life

Because the truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. What works for one person may not work for another — and that’s okay.

The most important thing is finding a method that gives you clarity, confidence, and control around your money.

Thanks Tracey Yeend for the opportunity to talk this evening about financial stress and why budgeting doesn’t work.
Loved my time with the Mitcham & Hills Wellness Education crowd.
Awesome experience.
Thank you 🙏

Budgeting Really is Crap And deep down… you already know it (isn't that why you are here?) This is MY story of what I did - when the struggle got real.
