Overcoming Financial Challenges Happy Hour Style
On Monday I announced the launch of my new company, The Financial Gym, and getting to the point of launching this company has certainly been one of the greatest financial challenges I have faced in my life. So because of this recent challenge that I faced, I thought about asking the Happy Hour Ladies about financial challenges that they have faced. This led to a really great conversation between the four of us, and I hope you'll listen to it.

Tonya talks about her struggle of pursuing her freelancing career while also living in a high cost of living environment
Mr. and Mrs. Frugalwoods are planning to move to a homestead in the woods in two years or less. Their biggest challenge is having patience to work in a job environment that they don’t love.
Melanie talks about the sh&tpiles that everyone has to deal with and not comparing your sh&tpile to someone else’s
We share our final thoughts:
Tonya – if you’re going through a challenging time, use that challenge as motivation instead of allowing it to defeat you
Melanie – remember that your challenge is only temporary
Mrs. Frugalwoods - don’t be on a martini podcast when you’re pregnant and if you’re going through a tough time, don’t let other people make you feel bad or tell you what to do, follow your heart and what you want
Shannon – take a moment and give yourself perspective.
