Joy budgeting: How to spend money on what makes you happy
Danni and Eve explore joy budgeting on this week’s episode - a different approach to managing your money that focuses on intentionally spending on the things that genuinely make you happy.
From gym memberships and little everyday treats to holidays and concert tickets, they discuss how to identify what brings you joy, make room for it in your budget and avoid feeling miserable about cutting back on spending (plus how to save even when money is tight).
They explore the psychology behind our spending habits, why overly restrictive budgets can be difficult to maintain and how making space for enjoyment can actually help you stick to your financial goals.
