Are you stuck in a work-to-buy cycle that leaves your wallet empty and your home full of stuff you barely use? You’re not alone. In this episode of the HerMoney, Podcast Jean Chatzky sits down with sustainability expert and author Ashlee Piper to talk about how a simple 30-day challenge changed her life—and her finances.
Ashlee’s No New Things Challenge helped her save $36,000, pay off debt, and rediscover the joy of living with less. Now, she's sharing how you can do it, too—with zero shame, zero deprivation, and a lot of empowerment.
Whether you're looking to shop less, spend smarter, or live more intentionally, this episode will help you take the first step.
