What's going on? Hey there. Thanks so much for joining me today on the Shalin show where we are going to talk about

Finances your money situation why it creates such stress intention in our lives and what you can do about it

Serious little legs dangled out the front of the shopping cart that was overflowing with groceries for the week

It was bread and milk and cereal and all of the things that a family of four needs

Brock followed behind pushing one of those little miniature carts that they make for kids our cart was so full

Brock followed behind me pushing his own little miniature cart on this day

We had so many groceries and was here sitting in the front part of the cart

It was actually very convenient that Brock had extra space in his miniature cart to handle our overflow

I was never one of those people who totaled up exactly what they were spending as they placed things in their cart

But on this day I knew it was going to be a really big total once we reached the register

Now from the time I was about 15 years old I took it upon myself to just pay for

Everything myself. I started my first business when I was really young

I raised the money myself to be able to put myself through college. I worked multiple jobs

Started my own business and was really proud

I've always been really proud. I'm sure you've heard me talk about it many times on this show

Really proud of the fact that I became financially independent from such a young age

That does not mean that I was financially secure. It means I was financially independent

But that meant there are a lot of months where when I went grocery shopping it was 79 cents cans of soup

I

It sustained myself on like really poor nutrition and there are many times where I had to like sell things to be able to make my rent

Skip out and doing entertainment and money was always tight

There was never anything extra
