How This PhD Student's Budgeting Practice Enabled a Hawaiian Vacation
In this episode, Emily interviews Sean from Authentically Average, a fourth-year PhD student at a university in Houston, TX. Sean and his wife have very intentionally set up their budget to reflect their values, and now live and die by their budget. Their top three budget priorities are retirement savings, tithing, and travel. Sean's budget helps him say "no" to certain areas of spending or opportunities for spending so that he can say "yes" to his travel aspirations. Sean describes a wellness vacation he and his wife took to Hawaii and why travel is such a high priority right now.
