Podcast Description: Money Reset

Money Reset is your go-to podcast for transforming your financial mindset and building wealth on a budget. Hosted by The Budget Babe, an educator on a journey to financial freedom, each episode breaks down personal finance concepts into actionable steps, proving that you don't need a finance degree to take control of your money.

Episode Highlight: The Simple Path to Wealth & The True Cost of Consumerism

In this episode, we explore The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins, a no-nonsense guide to financial independence through investing in index funds. We’ll break down key takeaways from the book and discuss how modern consumer culture, marketing strategies, and technology upgrades are keeping people trapped in a cycle of spending instead of saving.

We’ll also dive into:

  • Technology & Upgrade Culture: How companies convince you to upgrade your phone, tablet, or laptop even when your current device still works perfectly.
  • The Debt Trap: Why consumer credit debt keeps rising and how marketing encourages unnecessary spending.
  • Keeping Up with Trends: The pressure to buy the latest styles, gadgets, and must-have items—and how it impacts your financial future.

This Week’s Challenge: Master Your Grocery Budget

  1. Create a Grocery Budget: Set a realistic amount to spend on groceries this week and stick to it.
  2. Stick to Your Budget: Plan your meals, make a list, and avoid impulse purchases.
