Sami Hageman is the Owner of Eat Pray Budget, LLC, an accountant/MBA by day and a budgeting boss by night. She helps young couples, singles and families develop budgets and spending habits to win with their money. Her personal experience of paying off a substantial amount of debt with her husband lit a passion she didn’t know existed. She uses her accounting background, MBA and real life experience to offer solutions to those struggling with achieving their financial goals.
When she’s not helping people with their personal finances, she and her husband enjoy traveling and taking in any adventure that life throws at them. She loves a quite night in, an excellent meal at a local eatery and a good glass or wine!
In this episode we talk about Sami’s journey to becoming debt free, why she was reluctant to take a budgeting class because she already has a degree in accounting and a masters degree, selling her first home that she bought when she was 19, budget tips and details on how to trick yourself into sticking to you plan, should you contribute to your retirement account when you are paying off debt, how to find balance with money as a couple, and mindset tips to help you pay off debt more quickly.

The Money Code And How To Crack It

Erin – “I finally sat down to recalculate debt and sort of find a budget after falling off the wagon a bit the past two months. Turns out we somehow shaved off just over $5000 in debt without even realizing it since Jan!
No wonder we feel like going out to eat just isn’t in the cards, and that weekend closing the bars in town hurt just a bit more than usual – we’ve become so used to our money going where it should that I guess we’re noticing the waste more than usual!!
Without even knowing, you guys have been a huge motivation because I just want to keep up with you.” #MoneyWin
