Some weeks it feels like you’re doing everything right with money… and still getting nowhere. If that’s been your energy lately, you’re not alone. This week we’re unpacking why that happens, what it means when your effort isn’t matching the outcome, and the practical ways to reset without throwing your whole plan in the bin. We also heard from someone in our community who’s feeling the annual Christmas tug-of-war: wanting to keep things simple and values-aligned, but also navigating grandparents who love a shopping spree and a partner who’s all in on the festive chaos. So we chat through how to set boundaries without being the Grinch, how to rethink “enough” at Christmas, and the small shifts that stop the season from steamrolling your sanity or your savings. Plus your money wins, unhinged broke-tips we never see coming, and the usual Friday fun to kick-off the weekend.
