In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua & Ryan sit down with Rachel Cruze, author of Love Your Life, Not Theirs, to discuss managing finances, eliminating debt, and avoiding the comparison trap, and they answer the following questions:
- How do I determine the appropriate amount of money to save when my income fluctuates throughout the year?
- How do I explain minimalism to non-minimalists?
- How do my partner and I decide who is responsible for each financial obligation in our household?
- How do I maintain a balance between taking care of debt too much and not enough?
- How do I keep myself motivated to keep paying off my debt when it feels overwhelming?
