Ever feel like your work life and home budget are in a tug-of-war? Same, bestie — and you’re not alone. This week, we sat down with Stephanie, a law professor who’s been making huge moves with her money using our budget system. But like many of us, she hit a snag when it came to business travel.
Stephanie’s story is a masterclass in navigating:
- Work reimbursements that take months
- Whether credit cards are ever worth it (spoiler: rarely, but sometimes!)
- How to separate personal and professional expenses without losing your mind (or your receipts)
- Setting up a system that actually works — especially when math isn’t your thing
We cover:
✔️ Pre-funding business trips
✔️ Why a separate bank account is a game-changer
✔️ How to track expenses without burning out
✔️ What to do about credit card perks like car rental insurance or international fees
✔️ And why setting a weekly “receipt party” on your calendar might be your new best friend
Stephanie also shares how budgeting is now a whole family thing — from planning for Christmas (without the chaos) to giving her kids their own savings accounts (and real-time money lessons 💪).
Whether you're a working parent, frequent traveler, or just tired of the budget rollercoaster — this episode is packed with smart, doable strategies to help you stay on track and feel in control.
