I Make Good Money… So Why Do I Still Feel Broke? | Bougie Budgeting for High-Earning Women with the Budget Besties
Tue Jan 27 2026
You make good money… so why do you still feel broke?
If you’re a high-earning woman who looks successful on paper but still feels behind financially, this episode is for you.
In this eye-opening conversation, Rebecca Whitman sits down with Budget Besties—Shana & Vanessa, best friends, business partners, and master financial coaches helping women stop wondering “Where did my money go?” and start building wealth with clarity and confidence.
They reveal why overspending isn’t the real issue, why budgeting feels emotional (even when you’re smart and capable), and how disorganization—not discipline—is quietly draining your bank account. Most importantly, they share how to create a simple, automatic system that allows you to save, spend, and invest without sacrificing your bougie lifestyle.
This episode proves you don’t need to hustle harder, restrict yourself, or give up travel, dinners, or luxury to feel financially secure—you just need the right system.
✨ WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM THIS EPISODE
• Why making more money doesn’t automatically create financial peace
• The real reason budgeting feels emotional, overwhelming, and exhausting
• How disorganization quietly leaks money every single month
• A simple automatic system that builds wealth for you
