Know Your Numbers with Shannah Compton Game

Savings, budgets, retirement. Oh my. No matter how on top of our lives we feel, talking about money still makes us squirm. And…well, we’re tired of it.

Today on NYG, we talk about where those financial fears come from — and what we’re doing to get over them. To help us out, we chat with Shannah Compton Game, a Certified Financial Planner and the host of the Millennial Money podcast. Shannah’s all about helping people like us get more comfortable thinking and talking about money, and she’s quickly become one of our fave resources for financial info.

Shannah Compton Game knows her numbers.

When you don’t talk about something, you feel really isolated, and you feel like you are alone. Like nobody could possibly have the same money issues you have. But the reality that I try to tell everybody is: you’re so wrong! We are all so much alike when it comes to money, especially the things that we’ve not done so well.

Shannah tells us all about:

• Why money is such a taboo topic (but shouldn’t be)
• Which financial advice to take, and which to ignore
• Why we all hate the B word (budget, ugh)
• Why it’s totally not too late to get your finances in better shape

Also in this episode:

• Sara celebrates her presidential birthday
• Katel survives on pizza by the slice
• Jenn gets deep into the meal prep lifestyle

And there’s always a full transcript.
