Hey, I'm Shauna Compton Game. This is Millennium Money, and today is a best of episode.

We're going to replace some of our most popular episodes from 2016 in the upcoming days as we lead into 2017.

And so I thought we would start off today with one of the most popular episodes, which is saving money secrets. And I talk about secrets,

whether you want to save $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, no matter how much money you want to save,

even if it's just a small amount of money, I'm going to give you lots of tips that will hopefully

unlock your thinking and help you

really figure out ways to save money. But probably my best tip, and the tip that I always just

keep coming back to is that really the secret to saving money is knowing your numbers.

And what I mean by that is knowing exactly how much you spend

each and every month on everything, eating out, shopping, Uber, ATM fees, groceries, parking,

whatever it may be. Because there's power when you know your numbers. There's power there where you can

really start making some changes

and find ways to start saving money right now. So you don't need to get some big fat new

paycheck or land a new job or score a big new contract. All you need to do is look inside your bank

account, really know your numbers, and find powerful ways to drive savings

for all the goals that you want to achieve. Whether you're just starting out and you want to build

your emergency fund, or maybe you want to start your own business and you're looking to fund

your first year, or if you want to start a family or take that dream vacation, whatever you want to do,

it starts by saving money and it starts right with your bank account and really looking at

where you're spending the money and how you can start making some of those changes. So I hope you

enjoy this best of podcast. I'm going to bring you a couple more

best ofs before the end of the year. But hopefully this one will again just inspire you and kind of
