Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This podcast is recorded on Gadigal land. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
Hey chicks, I'm Zell. And I'm Elle. And this is Two Broke Chicks, the show that shares life lessons and tips to help make you rich in life. And welcome to our brand new mini-series called the Rich Girl Dictionary. For the next six weeks, we're going to have some amazing little bonus episodes just for you chicks. Mm-hmm.
Basically, each episode will be focused on a financial term to help you upgrade your finances and become the money savvy baddie you're always meant to be. Baddie. Baddie. Baddie.
That's exactly what people think about when they think of us. They think, right? Baddie. Baddie. Big baddie. And it's all thanks to YouBank.
So let's get into it. This week's Rich Girl Dictionary term is loud budgeting. Yeah. So what is loud budgeting? Loud budgeting is a movement that promotes communicating your money limits and savings goals rather than making up excuses or going into debt to keep up with social spending. The trend started on TikTok, as so many good trends do. As they tend to do.
And encourages people to be vocal about their budget because there is an unfair stigma around money and having enough of it. Three in five Australians actually experience money guilt because of purchasing decisions. And that's an equivalent to 11.9 million people. Yeah, and you can count me in that.
Yeah, we are just a statistic. What do you think is like your purchase that you had the biggest money guilt on? Oh, that is a big question and so many. What like jumped into your mind first?
Honestly, some of the concert tickets I've spent in the past, like the VIP packages and things. I think sometimes I felt like I had something to prove or like a bit of FOMO or something like that. And then afterwards when people would be like, how much were those tickets? I was like, I'm so ashamed to admit how much they were.
So it was like that immediate guilt. I actually think I've become an unreliable narrator. Like remember one time someone asked us how much we spent on Lady Gaga tickets and I was like, oh, like 300 bucks. And you, like, looked at me and you were like, are you purposely lying right now? Because you were like, I'll back you up. Yeah. I was like, is this a bit? Did I jump in? Yeah.

Chapter 2: What is loud budgeting and why is it important?
Yeah. Unreliable narrator.
I like that.
Sexy. Yeah. Yeah. I think for me it would have been, and I've spoken about this before, but the brand new designer bag that I like went into debt to buy. Yeah. And then never used it because I was so scared of like ruining it.
Yeah, it's like the roller skates in Home Alone where he's like – That is such a niche reference. Someone out there got it and they appreciated it.
I don't even remember that.
Oh, my God. It's in the second one.
Okay.
I was thinking about the first one. He's talking to the pigeon lady about how she needs to use her heart.

Chapter 3: How did the trend of loud budgeting originate?
Yeah, because she's like – She's Santa. I know. She is. Anyway.
Anyway, so loud budgeting can help you with setting boundaries socially and at work. Before, when admitting you couldn't afford to do something, it would kind of be embarrassing. Like we would be embarrassed to be like, I can't afford to go to that or I can't afford those concert tickets, for example.
Yeah.
But with this framework, financial transparency is key and it's empowering people to basically embrace living within their means. And someone saying, I can't go to dinner because that restaurant is 50 bucks for a breadstick is respected now. Like it's actually like if someone was to say that, you don't look at that being like, oh, you can't buy a breadstick. Yeah, exactly.
You'd be like, okay, that's so fair enough. Let's either go somewhere else or I get it.

Chapter 4: What are the common feelings associated with money guilt?
Starting this transparent conversation about your finances can also influence the people around you to do the same, which means that feeling of being embarrassed about setting your boundaries completely goes away. And it's not strange if everyone's doing it. I'm like, we could probably do it. We could apply that to a lot of things.
Everyone's doing it, man.
It's not strange if everyone's doing it. Us, like, cuddling in a corner. Yeah. If everyone just cuddled their best friends a little bit more, it wouldn't be strange, okay?
Yeah.
There's also something to be said about loudly acknowledging your goals. It's like you're putting your intentions out there into the world and, like, making that commitment, being like, I love my budget! You know? It means you're more likely to stick to them as well, kind of like a way of manifesting. fully encapsulating and committing to the budge.
Committing to the budge. Committing to the budge. I like that. Can you think of a time when you've said, that's not in my budget in a social setting or with friends?
Yeah, I think I do. I say it all the time, especially when I think we're shopping.
Yeah.
Like, if we've got the shoppies, vintage shopping especially, like, I definitely feel like I've become a little bit better. We've had these conversations. It's a work in progress for me, I think, because, like, I have a difficult time saying no to myself. Yeah. What princess wants, princess gets.
