Summary

Feeling anxious about the economy or unsure how to take control of your financial life? You’re not alone, and this episode is your toolkit. Haley Sacks, AKA Mrs. Dow Jones, is a self-made financial powerhouse who turned confusion into clarity and turned budgeting into a cultural movement. When she realized financial education felt like it was made by and for Wall Street bros, she set out to change that… and succeeded. Her latest creation, The Money Book 2.0, is a revolutionary, spreadsheet-based financial system that’s already changed over 10,000 lives and counting. It’s intuitive, secure, fun, and actually works! No clunky apps, no confusing spreadsheets, just results. In this conversation, we’re digging into how to budget with confidence, why your spreadsheet might be sexier than your stock portfolio, and how to stop feeling behind when it comes to money… no matter what the headlines say. Let’s dive in!
