This morning I had the opportunity to visit the Fox 59 studios and sit down with Angela Ganote to discuss how we can deal with the rising costs we’ve been seeing and the expectation that they will continue to rise.

When I see people feeling anxious or stressed about money, I always encourage them to do a couple of things.

  • Go back to the basics.

In this segment we discuss how to revisit your budget with purpose, why it might be necessary to scale back on savings (for the short term), and how turning a passion or hobby into a small business might be the answer to bringing in more income.
