Pay yourself first and the sticky-number method

 The internet has a lot of opinions about how you should be handling your money—cancel every subscription, never buy coffee, buy boring businesses to get rich. We like to focus on real advice that's actionable and realistic, not just viral.

So today, I'm joined by Tori Dunlap (@HerFirst100K) who’s helped over five million women make more, spend less, and feel financially confident. Together we are ranking some of the most common money advice tips that you hear on social media. Some of them are going to be really helpful, some of them are not—we clarify it all.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• Why the most common money advice is actually keeping you broke (and what to focus on instead)

• The real reason you're not rich—it's not your coffee habit

• How to tell if you're wasting time on $5 decisions when you should be making $15,000 ones

• The one financial move that protects you even in the best relationships

• Why "treating yourself" every day is sabotaging your budget (and your happiness)

• The sticky number method for saving money without feeling deprived

• Which index funds actually deserve your money—and which ones don't

• How to stop being manipulated into buying crap you'll forget you own

• The automation trick that makes saving effortless (even if you can only save $20/month)

• Why your financial education is your best form of protest right now
