Summary
Do you have a hold on your financial life as we start heading back into the “normal” world? From loss of income to spending differently than we ever have, our budgets have been upended this past year. That’s why this is a perfect time to check in with Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche.
Tiffany is a financial educator and author. Most recently, she published a children's book, Happy Birthday Mali, teaching kids about appreciation and finances. And as if that wasn't enough, she created a financial movement that has helped over one million women worldwide collectively save more than $250 million and pay off over $200 million in debt.
Today, Tiffany and Jessica catch up on how the last year has been, what we are learning about finances post-pandemic, and how we can give our kids some good financial wisdom.

| 0:40.1 | York Times bestselling author of Get Good With Money. She's worked to pass legislation in New Jersey |
| 0:45.6 | mandating financial education that is already now being integrated into middle schools. And she really |
| 0:52.7 | makes talking about money easy, which says a lot, because it's not easy to talk about money. |
| 0:58.1 | And I don't know about you, but during the pandemic, my spending habits radically changed. And I mean, |
