Today’s guest is probably my favorite.

Imagine going through a breakup AND being left with $9,000 of debt.

I’m pretty sure I’d be ugly crying for at least a couple months, but today’s guest came out of the fire stronger than ever.

Sarah Li Cain is the founder of HighFivingDollars.com, where she writes about all things personal finance and specifically focuses on the psychology behind our spending habits. Sarah is the author of The Authentic Budget, which is coming out soon, and she even has a Money Coloring Book, pretty sweet right?

In this episode we talk about the time her ex-boyfriend left her with a broken heart and $9,000 in debt, why she was grateful for her debt and what it taught her, boundaries and how they play such a big factor in our financial lives (and how setting them even led her to meeting her husband), getting rid of the PEZ collection she had since she was 13 years old, why budgets don’t work and so much more.

Towards the end of the episode we talk about a challenge that hasn’t launched quite yet but check Sarah’s website later as I’m sure this is one she will be pursuing after her book launch.
