Episode notes

In this episode, I'm tackling a community question from Robbie, a listener who’s making great money with their partner in Chicago but feels stuck in the cycle of saving for big goals—like a wedding, home, and dream honeymoon—only to watch that savings disappear. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever struggled to prioritize and protect your savings for life’s big milestones, you’re going to love this conversation.

I’m breaking down actionable strategies to:

Identify and prioritize your money goals (hint: it’s all about clarity and commitment).
Create a system to actually keep your savings safe from unexpected spending.
Use a “reverse budget” to spend guilt-free while hitting your savings targets.
Plan for big-ticket goals without feeling like you’re sacrificing everything.
Build financial boundaries that support your dreams instead of derailing them.

Whether you’re saving for a wedding, a home, a bucket list trip, or all of the above like Robbie, this episode will give you the tools (and a little tough love) to save for the things that matter most without feeling overwhelmed or stuck in “catch-up” mode.
