Episode 232 - Living Life to the Fullest While Also Planning for Financial Stability and Future Goals (WWYBD?!)
WWYBD (what would your bestie do) is where we answer listener-submitted questions. You can submit questions any time via our website, and then we pull questions to fit a specific theme.
In the catch up segment, Allison and Ceara share life updates about the first week of summer. Ceara was on a two part roadtrip. She visited her parents' new home in Charlotte and was able to spend Father’s Day there with her family. Her and Connor also went to Charleston to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary. Allison found a new favorite yoga studio so she’s been trying a variety of classes from prenatal to face yoga.
In the WWYBD part of the episode, we answer listeners' submitted questions about what our current favorite breakfast and lunches are, the struggle of living for now versus saving for the future, and tips on becoming more financially responsible. The discussion emphasizes the importance of making conscious choices that align with individual values and priorities.

WWYBD QUESTIONS:
I would love to know what my besties aka you guys are having for breakfast and lunch lately?
I really struggle with the balance of "live everyday as if its your last!" and "save for retirement". I really struggle with wanting to invest in my life and make the absolute most of it while I can, BUT how do I do that without going into debt + saving the appropriate amount on top of that. It feels like it'll take years to save for my dream home + retirement, but I'm also at the age where I want to spend a whole year traveling. These years will be gone before I know it and realizing I might have to choose between the two.. I feel like I make the necessary sacrifices and work hard but it never feels like enough. Can you think back to a time where you had the same mindset? Was there a moment things turned around for you, or any big changes you made to push through?
