As we close out the year, we're bringing back this powerful 2023 conversation with financial educator Tiffany Aliche (The Budgetnista) because it resonates even more today than when we first aired it.
Joe Saul-Sehy and OG sit down with Tiffany for a conversation about financial wholeness. Not just having the right accounts, but building a money life that supports you when life doesn't go as planned.
Tiffany shares what the past year taught her about preparedness, community, and resilience after the sudden loss of her husband, and why the systems she had in place mattered more than any single perfect financial move. This isn't a story about fear or worst-case scenarios. It's about confidence, clarity, and giving yourself grace while still doing the work that protects the people you love.
Along the way, Joe and OG pull practical lessons every Stacker can use without overwhelm or guilt. The money basics that quietly make everything else easier: beneficiaries, insurance, wills, and the difference between having a plan and having peace of mind.
If you've ever wondered whether you're focusing on the right financial priorities, or how prepared you really are, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and a clear path forward.

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:
You've ever wondered whether you're focusing on the right financial priorities, you want to make sure your essentials are covered without overwhelming yourself, you're thinking about what really matters as you head into a new year, or you believe the smartest financial move isn't always doing more but making sure the basics are handled.
This is one of those episodes that makes you pause and ask: If something unexpected happened tomorrow, would my money make life easier or harder? You don't need to answer that perfectly today, but it's a great conversation to start.
Sometimes the smartest financial move isn't doing more. It's making sure the essentials are handled so you can live fully the rest of the time.
