S1E18: Spoil yourself! Empowering Your Financial Future: Investing as a Reward, Not a Punishment.

The Student Investor with Ivyn Sambo

Welcome to another episode of our podcast proudly sponsored by Shyft App, where we explore ways to empower your financial future. Today, we want to talk about how setting aside a little bit of money in your budget can help you reward yourself and enjoy life, while still being financially responsible.
Many of us have been taught that investing is all about sacrifice and delayed gratification. We're told that we have to give up something now to enjoy the benefits later. While there's certainly some truth to this, it's important to remember that investing is not just about the end goal, it's also about the journey.
One way to make the journey more enjoyable is by setting aside a small portion of your budget each month for personal rewards. This could be anything from a nice dinner out, to a weekend getaway, to a new piece of technology you've been eyeing.
The key is to make sure that these rewards are budgeted for and planned in advance, so that you don't end up overspending and derailing your financial goals. By setting aside a little bit of money each month for personal rewards, you can stay motivated and focused on your long-term financial goals, while still enjoying life in the present.
So if you're feeling burnt out or overwhelmed by the idea of investing and saving, remember that it's important to take care of yourself along the way. By budgeting for personal rewards, you can make the journey more enjoyable and stay on track towards achieving your financial dreams.
Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next time for more tips and strategies on how to empower your financial future.
