On this episode of the Pete the Planner Show, Peter and Damian tell personal stories about their households!

No time to listen? BUMMER. Here’s some of what happened:

Show Notes:

Mailbag Question 1:

  • My grandmother passed away and left me $15,000. I could use a new car. What should I do with it?
  • Damian: I don’t think there’s any way you told them to use that on the car. How are we feeling about their employment? Is it solid?
  • Pete: They also are considering a $12,000 home repair. There are responsible options here. Small-ish inheritances don’t seem to get the same respect as larger amounts.

Mailbag Question 2:

  • “You often talk about budgeting. Where I struggle in budgeting is to know what is actually left. We no longer live in a cash society. With debit and credit cards as our spending method, how do you actually know when you’re out of money?”
