Best Of: Budget For Your Life, Not Your Bank Account

To celebrate the holiday season we're featuring Best Of episodes all week long from some of the most popular podcast this year. It takes some work to spend $2 million a month like Johnny Depp has been the last few years. I mean, come on, that does take some work to do that (but I'd love the chance to try, right). You don't need to have Johnny Depp's bank account though to let yourself get carried away with your budget and spending. I'm often asked the question, "Why should I do this budget thing anyway?" Well, what is it that you want to achieve - buy a house, start a family, move to France, travel to the Bahamas? What is it that you're playing for? You see, even Johnny Depp's financial advisors started to waive some caution flags in front of him when his spending got carried away. When this happens, it's time to dial in and budget for your life, not your bank account.

On This Podcast Episode:

We'll chat about the ridiculousness of Johnny Depp's spending

How you can visualize your own spending

Where do you begin to set some boundaries around your spending

Understand what are you playing for - aka, why you should budget
