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.
