FREE GUIDE: When we set the goal of paying cash for our home, we cut spending in 10 budget categories. We put together a free step-by-step guide showing you what we cut and how we did it.: https://pages.underthemedian.com/radically-reduce-expenses

If we could sit down with our younger selves and have one honest conversation about money, what would we tell them?

After nearly 40 years of marriage, we’ve learned a few things about money - some we got right, some we learned later than we wish we had, and some simply came from living through the ups and downs of real life.

In this month’s Money Talk at the Kitchen Table, we’re sharing 15 money lessons we wish we knew sooner.

This isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about what decades of budgeting, saving, raising a family, and working toward some pretty gigantic financial goals have taught us along the way.
