Paychecks & Balances


Dec 12, 2018

Leigh Phillips joins Marcus on the podcast today. She is from EARN.org. EARN is a national, award-winning nonprofit. They work at the intersection of financial technology and economic inclusion to empower low-income Americans to take charge of their financial lives. In this episode you’ll hear Leigh Phillips explain how earn can help you get your finances in order and how you can win prizes by saving with “SaverLife”, an EARN program.

Highlights:

  • One in four Americans can’t afford an unexpected $400 expense without going into debt.
  • Feeling in control of your money for your family.
  • Automatic transfers to savings accounts.
  • Building an emergency fund.
  • Accomplishing savings goals to build personal confidence.
  • Money problems for people of different levels of income.
  • Inconsistency in income and expenses for Freelancers.

Key Takeaway: Start with small savings goals to build personal confidence. Take advantage of automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account. Also, build that emergency fund.
