We’re halfway through the year, and there is no better time to ask, "What can I do to finish the year financially strong?" With the federal interest rate already being raised 3 times this year, Julien and Kiersten acknowledge that many listeners are probably feeling financially squeezed, and emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying reasons behind it. In this week’s episode of Rich & REGULAR we delve into the "why" rather than the "how," exploring the trends and cultural shifts that might be impacting your budget and offering strategic solutions to overcome financial challenges for the rest of 2023. 
From tipping to junk fees and interest rates, these factors can create unforeseen financial pressures. Now is a great time to take a moment to revisit financial goals. Are they still relevant? Have priorities shifted? By reevaluating your objectives, you can ensure that your financial decisions align with your aspirations for the second half of the year. By being proactive, strategic, and reflective, you can make the necessary changes to overcome financial challenges and set yourself up for a successful year ahead. Now is the time to make the second half of the year a season of financial empowerment and growth!
