About this listen

Ever look at your bank account and feel confused about what money you can spend versus what you should be saving? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Rich Girl Real Talk, we break down the basics of checking accounts, savings accounts, and emergency funds—what they’re for, how they work, and why separating your money is one of the easiest ways to reduce stress and stop accidental overspending.

We talk about:

  • What checking accounts are actually meant for

  • How savings accounts help your money grow over time

  • Why emergency funds are non-negotiable (and how to start one without feeling overwhelmed)

  • Common mistakes young people make—and how to avoid them

If you’re just starting out, got your first paycheck, or feel like your money disappears too fast, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need to manage your finances better—without shame or complicated jargon.
