Today’s episode is the audio version of our post “Help, I’ve been hacked! What do I do?” We're covering steps that you should take if you find out that your personal information or accounts have been compromised, and some of this is just good personal finance hygiene for everyone. (If the last time you ran your credit report was "never" or "I don't remember," you need this episode!)

All the cool kids have been hacked, so don't worry too much about it; this is totally figure-outable, and there are some steps you can take to minimize your stress along the way.

Does the word “budget” set your teeth on edge? If the thought of sitting down and accounting for every dollar you spend makes you want to yell “YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!” you are not alone - that’s where I started too. But I got through it, and now it’s second nature for me.

I sat down with the extremely awesome Whitney Hodges to talk about ways to get over the budgeting hump and make a spending plan that works. Make sure you bring snacks. 😉
