Why Saving is Such a Struggle in your 20s

Trust me when I say, this shit is hard. I mean it. Growing up with no financial literacy, the hardest part about learning to save money is navigating your emotions. All our choices are based on our emotions. Being in debt teaches you to work with what you have. Although we're deep in the hole, we are forced to work with what we have, with the that we have. One of our biggest expenses is rent/mortgage and food. Listen to this episode and see how I'm turning my struggles into discipline.

It's hard, don't get me wrong. But as we get older, we find what works and what doesn't, similar to any relationship. But female friendships are more important than anything. To have someone you can share wholesome experiences with is so healing for my inner child. To dress up, cook, and be silly with is so fun. Bringing play back into my life this year is a must. It takes time to cultivate anything real, and this is where I'm at. Real, genuine relationships take time to create, and I think that's the fun part.

Disconnect to Reconnect

We're so easily distracted & disconnected from ourselves and the world, we forget to tune in. We're constantly clouded by content and watching other people's lives, we forget to live in ours. ~ Instagram: Unraveling.Her YouTube: Nikki Alaras
