Welcome to the Radical Personal Finance Podcast. I'm your host, Joshua Sheets, and today I'm excited

to have Paula from Afford Anything on the line.

Paula, welcome.

Hi, thanks for having me on.

I'm really glad to have you on.

I'm really glad to have you on.

So I first heard, I first heard about you over on the Mad Fianist podcast and then I went over to your

site I heard you featured there on that interview then I went over to your site and just I was

so intrigued by the name of your site which is

afford anything dot com. It's always an attention grabber people people tend to

remember it it really is I think it's one of the better names. I mean obviously there are

tens of thousands of financial blogs and things out there that people can find

but I love the name of that site. So how you come up with that what was the philosophy behind it?

Well, so the philosophy behind the site speaks really well with the name.

When I was, let's see, when I was about 24, I quit my job and went off traveling

for a while and everybody kept saying to me at that time they kept saying oh I would love to do

something like that but I can't afford it and those are the key words that they

kept repeating I can't afford it I can't afford it can't afford it can't afford it

can't afford it and I wanted to smack my head against the wall every time I heard that,

because I'm like, dude, you can, you can afford anything. So that was where the name of the site came from.

I share that same. So that was where the name of the site came from.

I share that same frustration.
