Episode 22: Budgeting is so easy and so hard
Today’s topic of budgeting builds on part 2 of our series, which was focused on tracking spending. Budgeting can feel really messy at times, especially when you’re first starting out building that habit. But doing that work can help you develop systems that result in having breathing room when something breaks at home or on your car unexpectedly. And it can help make paying for gifts for weddings, graduations, birthdays, and the holiday season feel more manageable. We talk about some things that have worked for us over the years, about how to make sure you’re getting a good rate on insurances, and share some thoughts on how to make your dollars go further when paying down your debt. Note: neither of us are certified financial planners, and we are only sharing ideas that have benefited us.

Episode 21: Chaos and death following a glacier collapse in the Himalayas
Last week, part of a glacier fell in Uttarakhand, a state in northern India that is recognized for its beauty. The collapse pushed rushing flood water through a dam, claiming lives and damaging two hydroelectric plants. At the time of this episode’s airing, nearly 40 people have been confirmed dead and 170 are missing. And while tragic, Uttarakhand residents have been sounding the alarm of flood risk for several decades. In 2013, a devastating flood killed nearly 6,000 people. It hasn’t yet been determined what caused the glacier to break in the most recent flooding, but leading speculation points to global warming and/or continually growing infrastructure that supports increasing numbers of tourists.

Episode 20: Tracking your spending
Part 2 of our personal finance series focuses on building a spending - or budget - tracker. We discuss three options that we have liked over the years: a pen-and-paper tracker system, a budget tracking app, and a detailed spreadsheet (linked as 2 Google Docs, below). Tracking our spending has helped us see where we spend way too often and way too much (hello, Target!). And it has reminded us to cancel subscriptions--those payments of $5-$20 often fly under the radar, but they really add up over time. And our spending trackers have helped us readjust our spending, helping us pay down our debt more quickly. Do you have tips or tools that help you track your spending?
