Shownotes

Hey everyone, Jess here! In our latest episode of "Sex and Money with Jess," we dove into the crucial first step of my three-part process for achieving financial intimacy: organization. I shared my passion for getting up close and personal with your finances, just like you would in a relationship, to build a strong foundation for growth and understanding.

We talked about the importance of not just knowing your balances but understanding the transactions behind them. Whether it's your savings, checking, or credit card accounts, I emphasized the need to categorize each transaction to see where your money is truly going.

I shared my love for spreadsheets and how they can be a simple yet powerful tool for organizing your finances. I also mentioned other options like Quicken, QuickBooks, and various apps, but I stressed the value of manually inputting transactions to stay fully engaged with your spending.

I encouraged you to make the organization process enjoyable—put on some music, take breaks, and maybe even dance a little! Remember, starting now can change your future, so grab those bank statements and begin categorizing your transactions.

Next week, we'll explore the second part of the process, which is all about familiarizing yourself with your finances. Until then, have fun organizing, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need help or want to share your progress. Love you all, and thanks for tuning in!
