190 // Are “Good Deals” Costing Me Money? How to Deal with Hand-Me-Downs, “Just in Case” Thinking and More - with Brittany Flammer

Do you have a hard time saying no to free stuff and hand-me-downs?
Do you keep things because of how much you paid for them or “just in case” you need them “someday”?
Did you grow up with financial hardship and feel like you have to overcompensate by giving your kids everything they want?
My guest today is Brittany Flammer, a financial coach, mom of 5 ages 6 to 15, and an avid budgeter.
After years of living near the poverty line with 5 kids, Brittany figured out how to budget and win with money. With an average income of $37k/year her net worth is now over $800k.
She enjoyed sharing what she learned so much that she became a certified financial coach. She now helps clients start their budgeting journey and stick with it. 
Brittany and I talk about how she deals with hand-me-downs, letting go of a scarcity mindset to embrace one of abundance, and much more!
