This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I’m joined by Kara Perez, founder of Bravely Go and author of Green Money. Kara shares her inspiring journey from paying off $65,000 in student loans to creating a financial education company. She emphasizes the impact of values-based budgeting and reducing waste as key strategies for building wealth. Kara also discusses how to use money as a force for positive change, including aligning your finances with ethical practices like switching banks, and introduces the concept of "financially secure YOLO," offering practical advice on balancing financial goals with enjoying life.

In this episode Kara shares:

  • How to align your spending with personal values in a social media-driven world that may encourage overconsumption & strategies to resist unnecessary purchases.
  • How individuals can contribute to environmental sustainability through financial choices, like moving money to ethical banks.
  • Examples of collective financial solutions like babysitting co-ops and bartering services to reduce costs while fostering community connections.
  • Her experience of maintaining separate bank accounts with her partner but scheduling regular money dates to ensure alignment on shared financial goals and upcoming expenses.
