Episode 356: Anti-Budget Culture with Dana Miranda
•
Doree and Elise chat about Doree’s birthday party hosted by Elise where friends were made, trivia was played, and the string lights shone bright!
Then, in the second episode of Money Month, Doree and Elise speak with Dana Miranda, a Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF), personal finance journalist, and author of You Don’t Need A Budget. They discuss why budget culture is a parallel to diet culture, how having financial education doesn’t automatically level the playing field, and all the tenets of budget culture we have to unlearn in order to begin intuitive spending.
