Ever feel like you're trying to pay off debt while holding your breath, hoping your income doesn’t suddenly vanish? Or maybe your family has income that comes in waves, and you’re just trying to keep the budget afloat?

You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m answering two listener questions that so many people are navigating right now:

  1. Should I pause my debt payoff if I’m worried about losing my job?
  2. How do I budget when my income is totally unpredictable?

We’ll talk about:

  • Why pausing your debt-free journey isn’t failing, it's smart
  • How to build a financial safety net when layoffs are on the horizon
    What a “bare bones budget” is and why it matters
  • How to create an “income bucket” to smooth out unpredictable paychecks
  • And most importantly, why budgeting has to be flexible

Whether you’re in a rocky job situation or dealing with variable income, this episode will help you feel more prepared and less overwhelmed. Small, steady steps matter, and I promise, you’re not behind.

📘 Grab my book Money Made Easy for more step-by-step help, including examples, visuals, and real-life stories from our own journey.
