Saving When You Don't Make Bank

January 21, 2026

Saving money can feel impossible when you’re not making a huge salary, especially with rising costs and everyday expenses. In this episode, we talk about how to save when money feels tight, why traditional budgeting rules don’t always fit real life, and how to build better habits without guilt or perfection. We cover practical strategies like tracking your spending, paying yourself first, adapting the 50/30/20 rule, managing debt, and finding small ways to create breathing room, even if saving 20% feels out of reach. This episode is all about realistic expectations, progress over perfection, and building a system that works for you. If you’re trying to save, live your life, and not feel behind all at once, this one’s for you.
