How Simplifying Your Home Can Improve Your Finances with Jill Sirianni (Ep 232)

In this episode of the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast, the host, Deanna Yates, interviews Jill Sirianni, a licensed clinical social worker and co-host of the Frugal Friends podcast. Together, they dive into the transformative power of simplifying your home and how it can positively impact your financial decisions. Jill shares her unique insights into the connection between physical clutter and financial stress, explaining how clearing your space can reduce overwhelm, free up time, and pave the way for more intentional spending habits.


They also tackle the concept of "complexity bias" and how it can make financial decisions feel more daunting than they need to be. Jill provides actionable tips, including conducting a 90-day transaction inventory to identify spending patterns and redefine what “enough” means in your life. Whether you're looking to declutter your home, improve your financial habits, or find harmony between the two, this episode offers a holistic approach to creating a simpler, more fulfilling life.
