Description

This week on A Week In Her Wallet, we meet Megan, a 47-year-old office manager living on Long Island with her husband. Together they earn around $200,000, but keep most of their spending separate — and it works.


Megan hasn’t paid a cent in credit card interest in over two decades and recently spent just $400 in a week, all while training for her fifth marathon.


Tune in as she shares:



  • Why she keeps her money separate from her spouse, and how they make it work

  • The real costs of marathon training

  • How she budgeted for a trip to Barcelona without touching savings

  • Her unique take on tipping, impulse buying, and personal finance independence
