Your host
Jessica Roy is her friends’ go-to person for personal finance advice.
Several years ago, that was not the case. She woke up on New Year’s Day 2017 with a big resolution: to finally take control of her money, make a budget and stick to it, stop wasting cash on silly things, pay off debts and start saving for a house.
She didn’t know exactly how to do it, but she knew she didn’t want to spend another year tossing and turning and worrying. So she buckled down, picking budgeting software, paying down credit card and other debt, even getting to the point of successfully buying a home.
With the Totally Worth It newsletter, she’s going to help you get on the same path. Imagine your best friend coming over with a bottle of wine and her laptop to sit down with you and really, truly get you to tackle your money stuff. That’s Jessica!

Totally Worth It
Get started on your personal finance journey by making a budget. We’ll walk you through your options and how to set yourself up for success.
A week into my budgeting experience, I felt panicked. I kept glaring at my budget. How was knowing how little money I had left over supposed to help me?
Here are some ideas for cutting back or cutting entirely.
If you are in debt paydown mode, having money sitting in your bank account may seem foolish. But it’s doing something: It’s waiting for an inevitable emergency.
This week, we’re going to make an attack plan to pay your debt down faster.
To me, the big rewards for being more conscientious about your finances are peace of mind and using your money for the big things you want out of life.
Freeze your credit. Increase your insurance coverage. Plus other steps to take now.
Time to take a breath and think about how it’s going. Are you staying on top of expense tracking? Are you checking your categories before making big purchases?
Imagine your best friend is coming over with a bottle of wine and her laptop to sit down with you and really get you to tackle your money stuff. That’s Totally Worth It.
