Olga Kirshenbaum is a Money Whisperer and the founder of Rags to Riches Consulting where she works with clients to reframe their spending habits and achieve their financial goals.

Olga is the author of Shmoney Guide: Making Money Choices Doesn’t Need to Be So Scary, which helps readers get financially literate, build a foundation of making smart financial choices and eliminate the stress that comes with not being budget-savvy.

Olga coaches entrepreneurs in how to overcome the stigma of talking about money and empowers them to make considered and proactive choices about how they manage their money.

Olga joins me today to discuss what the three most common money management issues are in the modern world, and how you can learn to manage your finances and balance your spending priorities.

She shares the importance of setting financial goals, working through the external challenges of feeling pressured to spend money, and making mindful spending choices without going on a complete economic crash diet.

Olga also reveals some of the financial strategies that she recommends in the Shmoney Guide, including the importance of keeping an eye on your budget and checking in on your spending throughout the year.

“Think of your budget as your compass and your money goals as the map.”
