Ah, the eternal struggle—do you splurge on that new gear, take a well-earned vacation, or, you know… pay your mortgage? In this episode of Budgets for Badges, we’re diving into the delicate balance between responsible adulting and rewarding yourself for surviving another shift.
And to help us navigate this financial tightrope, we’re bringing in a special guest—Zanna Wolfgang from Honor The Brave (@honorthebrave). As a real estate pro and passionate advocate for first responders, Zanna knows a thing or two about making smart money moves while still enjoying life.
We’ll cover:
🏡 How to balance big financial goals (like homeownership) with the urge to splurge.
💸 Why ‘treat yo’ self’ is a mindset, not an excuse to ignore your budget.
🚔 First responder-specific financial pitfalls (and how to avoid them).
So, whether you’re about to drop cash on a weekend getaway, a new truck, or—gasp—your actual bills, this episode is for you. Tune in as we break down how to have nice things and a roof over your head at the same time!
