Summary

Njeri Young is an avid YNAB user, but she didn't start out that way. In fact, it took her years of stops and starts before she finally gained control over her dollars, learned how to budget, and build a healthy relationship with money. Although some people on the internet make it look easy, Njeri's experience is common, and she has learned many valuable lessons along  her journey.

Hello, Wine Embers. My name is Jesse Mekum and this is another episode of The Wine Em

0:16.8

Podcast, where we teach you full rules to help you stop them paycheck to paycheck, get

out of debt and save more money. There may be some of you listening to this right now

0:25.2

that, you know, you're, you're die hard now and you're all in now. But maybe when

0:31.2

you first started, you stopped. Maybe you started, then you stopped again. Maybe you've

0:51.6

and now she is just rolling. So I turned the mic over to Jerry to just let us hear her

describe her journey. She had some, you know, everyone has money stories in how they were

1:02.9

raised and she had some of those and somewhere along the way, she just decided, well, now

1:07.0

wait a minute. I want to change my story, my relationship with money. So I hope you

1:12.5

thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Najeri. She is, well, it was absolutely delightful

in the end, just bring her rewards that I honestly, at least the way she came across

1:34.4

and described me, I don't know if she believed that it was absolutely possible when she first

1:38.4

started out. So anyway, without further ado, here is my conversation with Najeri.

1:48.1

Najeri, welcome to the YNAB podcast for glad you're here. Oh my gosh, I can't believe I
