Meghan Lim was laid off three times before she bet on herself. She's a personal finance creator who took her net worth from a negative number to six figures in three years, all while keeping her spending between two and three thousand dollars a month. In this episode, she sits down with me to break down how she actually affords the lifestyle.

Meghan reveals how she used her emergency savings to take care of herself when her eleven-year relationship ended this summer, why she and her fiancé never combined a single account in all that time, and what she wants every woman to have before she needs it.

Meghan and I walk through the $108,000 she earned in her first full year of content creation, the corporate salary she walked away from, and the nine months between jobs when pet sitting and a matcha shop paid the bills. Plus, she shares exactly what her life costs now, from the $1,350 in rent to the groceries and the gym, the four income streams that fund it, and the Zillow trick that got her an apartment ten other people applied for.

She also shares the one thing about her finances people would never guess: the hundred dollars a week she puts into Bitcoin.
