1 小时 13 分钟Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.
Have you noticed how expensive basic things have become?
I mean, egg prices, they've doubled, and that's not even for organic.
It's absurd.
Don't even get me started on the price of rent, insurance, co-pays, student loans.
I mean, there's lots of people going on and on about what's actually causing this.
But today, I want you and I to talk about what do you do about it?
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed by the cost of living or overwhelmed by paying your bills or overwhelmed by managing your money?
Like every time you log into your bank account, you're feeling panicked.
Well, I want you to hear me when I tell you this.
You're not alone.
One in three working adults lives paycheck to paycheck right now.
And I know exactly how that feels.
the pressure, it is crushing.
And you start to feel like nothing is ever going to change.
When I was 41 years old, my husband and I, we were $800,000 in debt.
I mean, we could barely buy gas or groceries.
And I believed for a period of time that that would be my life forever, that I would never get control of my money.
And if I could go back in time, and talked to the 41-year-old version of myself, you know what I would tell her?
I would say, Mel, I know this is scary, but you can figure this out.
