Ep 42 | More Proof That Budgeting Doesn't Work

Ashley and Priya get real about what it takes to feel in control of your money. They unpack why traditional budgeting rarely works, how to think about spending in terms of happiness instead of guilt, and what it means to be a true financial adult. Ashley shares insights from her 30-Day Money Cleanse and Financial Adulting, along with stories about navigating money in relationships, planning for kids, and redefining what financial readiness actually looks like.

The conversation blends practical advice with real-life honesty that’s the right kind of approachable.

Takeaways:

How to rethink budgeting as a happiness allocation instead of a restriction
Why understanding your (and your partner’s) money story matters more than splitting hairs over expenses
The real costs of planning for kids—and how to know when you’re actually ready
Simple ways to track and reflect on spending without turning it into a second job
Participants save an average of $950 in the first month using the method outlined in Ashley’s first book, The 30-Day Money Cleanse
