After landing her first “grown-up” job, KP overspent on Christmas gifts and ended up scraping together change for snacks and relying on leftovers from a kind coworker just to get by. But instead of spiraling, she saw it as a wake-up call… and her budgeting mistake turned into one of her most valuable financial mindset shifts.

In this episode, KP shares her journey from paycheck-to-paycheck stress to setting up autopay, building credit, and becoming the go-to person for money advice in her family.

You’ll hear:

• How a budgeting mistake turned into a powerful money lesson
• The shift from counting down to payday to finding real financial stability
• How a financial advisor became the accountability partner she didn’t know she needed
• What finally motivated her to finish Ramit Sethi’s book I Will Teach You To Be Rich and share it with the next generation

If you’ve ever struggled with managing money or wanted to talk more openly about finances with your family, this episode is for you!
