Magda Doemeny: 我是NerdWallet Advisors的认证理财规划师。我们提供负担得起的理财规划会员服务,帮助客户制定切实可行的财务计划,包括审查财务状况、制定计划和提供持续支持。我拥有15年的从业经验和12年的客户咨询经验,致力于帮助客户改善财务状况。针对Brinker的财务状况,我注意到她存在生活方式膨胀的问题,这与她童年时期的财务经历有关。她有很好的职业动力,但需要学习如何平衡消费和目标。首先,我们需要分析她的支出,找出主要支出类别,并制定策略来减少支出。然后,我们可以制定一个计划来偿还她的债务,并开始储蓄。我会建议她使用预算应用程序来跟踪支出,每周留出一天专门退货,并限制Uber Eats和Uber的使用频率。此外,我还建议她开设一个高收益储蓄账户,每月定期存入少量资金,以建立紧急资金。 Brinker: 我童年时期缺乏明确的理财教育,这导致我现在在理财方面存在问题。我的父母在2004年离婚后,我们的经济状况急剧恶化,这让我对金钱的看法既有积极方面(设定了生活标准),也有消极方面(导致不负责任的消费习惯)。我目前的财务状况很不理想,存在冲动消费和债务问题。我的债务主要源于搬入高租金公寓时的高额前期费用,以及随后的不理性消费。我的财务目标包括偿还债务和攒钱出国。我尝试过使用极简主义来控制消费,但效果有限。我目前的收入是每月大约5800美元,租金是1895美元,但由于消费习惯不好,每月没有结余。我使用预算应用程序来跟踪支出,发现我的主要支出是Uber Eats、Uber和购物。我意识到我需要改变消费习惯,并开始偿还债务。Magda的建议对我很有帮助,我计划按照她的建议来改善我的财务状况。
