In this solo episode of the Journey to Launch Podcast, I break down how to navigate the financial turbulence caused by recent economic changes. Whether it’s the unpredictable stock market, rising costs, or job insecurity, I’ll walk through the 2 intangible and 4 tangible steps you can take today to protect and grow your money. You’ll obtain actionable strategies that will help you feel more in control during uncertain times.
Key Takeaways:
- Mindset & Habits: Slow down, don’t panic. Regularly check in on your finances to stay grounded and make informed decisions rather than reacting emotionally.
- Income: Evaluate the stability of your industry and job. Consider upskilling or starting a side hustle to boost financial resilience.
- Expenses & Assets: Trim non-essential spending and pause major purchases. Prioritize building your emergency fund—even in small amounts—and keep cash accessible.
- Debt Management: Stay on top of your debts. Focus on minimum payments, avoid taking on new liabilities, and explore options to negotiate if needed.
