Welcome back to Season 5 of the Recovering Perfectionist Podcast!

In this episode, Christine chats with Darcy Guac about traveling on a budget and we share our best travel hacks. Darcy started "We Want Guac" as a guide to wealth for Gen Z. After reaching a high-paying job and a six-figure net worth in her 20s, she has written over 150 articles about managing personal finance as a young professional. She is all about specifically getting more people in their early 20s to begin long-term investing and making the most opportune moves for better compensation - both very important in our times of wage stagnation, high inflation, and worries over the future. Money is a scary topic to wrangle, but it really doesn't have to be.
