You asked, and we answered! The #1 most-requested topic since the start of this show has been budgets: how to make a good one and how to stick to it. In this episode, we talk about our own budget successes and failures, then we get the real deal from an expert – Erin Lowry, a budgeting guru also known online and in print as the Broke Millennial. Then to cap it off, we learn about a very different budget currently being put together: President Donald Trump's proposed federal budget.
