Gain Without Pain: The Top 5 Painless Ways to Save Money
Manage episode 407897011 series 2774357
Welcome to the Money Talks News Podcast.
This podcast is all about making you richer. And at the end of the day, there are only two ways to do that: either you make more, or you spend less. In this episode, we're going to talk about ways to spend less, BUT, doing it without sacrificing your quality of life.
That's right: I'm talking financial gain without lifestyle pain.
As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. Today our guest is Gina Zakaria, a viral TikTok sensation and author of the book Simple Secrets to Becoming a Saving Whiz.
Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments on this show, don't take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.
