In this episode, our hosts Antonia Cereijido and Chris Duffy talk about their own budget successes and failures. Then they get real-deal advice from an expert: Erin Lowry, a budgeting guru also known online and in print as the Broke Millennial.
To cap off our budget-friendly frenzy, we learn about a very different type of budget currently being put together: President Donald Trump's proposed federal budget.
