You may be on the lookout for other external things to provide comfort and excitement when you stop drinking, and impulse buying and comfort spending can pop up in sobriety. In this episode, I talk to Tori Dunlap from Her First 100k about how we can improve our financial habits in sobriety. In last week's episode we spoke about transfer addiction and Tori and I continue that conversation today with money habits. Although Tori's expertise is in finance, she brought so much wisdom to this episode that applies directly to our experience with sobriety. You especially need to listen to the end where we discuss self-worth and shame. You can learn more about Tori in her new book, Financial Feminist, and on her podcast.
In this episode you'll learn:

why Tori's goal of saving up 100k by the time she was 25 was a priority

the importance of giving your goal a "why"

how to determine what you should spend your money on and what spending isn't necessary

how to set financial goals that are meaningful for you

why you need to stop using the word "should"

what to do if you are spending too much money for comfort

how to start improving your money habits

the money myths that hold us back

what to do if you don't have a lot of opportunities

how to get back into the workforce if you have a lot of anxiety about being out of it for a while

where confidence comes from and how to improve it
